Botox may treat migraines in children, teens
ABP NewsWashington D.C., Oct 24 : Here's some good news for parents! In a study spanning five years, Irvine from the University of California, found that Botox helped reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines in children. Botox has long been in the markets for clinical use in cosmetic procedures, but in recent years it has become increasingly popular for preventatively treating chronic migraines for those that experience 15 or more attacks each month. The team analysed nine children and adolescents aged between eight and 17 and found that over the course of five years Botox had no major side effects. Lead author Assistant Clinical Professor Dr Shalini Shah said, "When children and teens have migraine pain, it can severely affect their lives and ability to function."
