Experience of Botulinum Toxin A Injections for Chronic Migraine Headaches in a Pediatric Chronic Pain Clinic.

Authors

Abstract

Prevalence of chronic migraine in children can reach 7.7%, causing decreased school performance, difficulty with extracurricular activities (including sports, theater, or music), and changes in sleep and mood. Many studies confirm that botulinum toxin type A injections effectively alleviate chronic migraines in adults; however, the literature regarding children is sparse. This study aims to analyze the safety and effectiveness of botulinum type A injections in a group of pediatric patients diagnosed with chronic migraines in a pediatric pain clinic.
