Botox lined up as possible cure for migraines

BOTOX, the wrinkle remover, will soon be used to prevent migraines.

Botox, already widely used to treat a variety of medical conditions, acts by blocking nerve transmission to muscles, causing them to relax.

When it was discovered that women, who used it to reduce frown lines, reported having fewer migraines, scientists began to look at developing it as a treatment.
