Headache management using BOTOX and NTI mouth guards
For years now we have been successfully treating tension type headaches caused by clenching or grinding teeth, or muscle spasms. We have recently started treating patients with Chronic Migraines. We are using the latest techniques involving BOTOX to calm muscle trigger points and prevent migraines from appearing.
The evidence for BOTOX effectiveness is getting strong.

Significant reduction in number of headaches per month, reduction in severity, reduction in vomiting in 123 patients

85% reduction in numbers of headaches and reduction in intensity in 27 patients.
77% effective for menstrual migraines and all remained effective when retreated.
