Botox does work as a Migraine preventive for some people. If considering Botox for Migraine prevention, you should find a doctor who has experience administering it for that purpose, not a doctor who uses it for cosmetic purposes. The injection techniques are very different.
For more information, take a look at Intradermal Botox for Migraine, Headache, Pain Disorders.
Hope this helps,
