I have had migraine headaches since I was five years old. I had all of the testing done, and saw several neurologists over the years.  I have been diagnosed with cluster type headaches. I am now 30 and tired of the dibilitating pain.  Will botox help this kind of migraines?

Hi Christina,

 

 

Botox injections are quite helpful for some Migraineurs, although I don't know how botox would work with cluster headache. For more information, take a look at Intradermal Botox for Migraine, Headache, Pain Disorders.

 

Good luck

Nancy
