The popular injectable product, Botox Cosmetic might be used as a treatment for 
migraine headaches in the near future, according to research published in Archives of Dermatology. Authors of the study recommend the alternative use of Botox, saying “at doses appropriate for cosmetic purposes, [Botox injections] may be sufficient to prevent migraine attacks.”
According to writers on Bloomberg news, pharmaceutical company and Botox manufacturer Allergan Inc, applied for FDA clearance to market Botox as a headache treatment. However, researchers say they cannot fully explain how Botox works to relieve headaches. One co-author of the study, Rami Burstein says, “it may block the signals in sensory nerves located on the outside of the head.”
