An ABC affiliate, WCVB TV channel five out of Boston, reported a story this week about a life-long migraine victim who’s doctor tried BOTOX as treatment and she experienced a 75% reduction in pain. She had tried several remedies and perceptions over the years, but fell among the estimated 1.2 million to 3.6 million people suffer from chronic migraine headaches. Dr. Zahid H. Bajwa, Director of Education and Clinical Pain Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, said Profita Orok was among a sizeable percentage of migraine sufferers for whom typical treatments did not work.

In one study, 80 percent of patients said that after treatment with Botox their head pain was less frequent, less intense, or both. The study focused on 271 patients who suffer from migraines and other head pain, three-quarters of whom had tried many other therapies, without success. Half had been over-using medications in an effort to relieve pain.

Dr. Bajwa said he is hopeful that the FDA will soon approve Botox for migraines. Often, transplants from the North and East come to Dallas and find themselves suffering from migraines due to allergies and climate changes here in the South. Could the FDA approving BOTOX for Dallas migraine suffers reduce the pain and heartache they face everyday? This is an interesting thought for the future of BOTOX and its many uses.
