NEUROMODULATORS

treatments that use botulinum toxin injectables may also be used to treat chronic migraines. These treatments, known as neuromodulating drugs (such as Botox, Daxxify , Dysport, Xeomin and Mybloc), were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2010 for migraine treatment.experience and expertise in the industry.

Researchers are eager to learn how botulinum toxin-based drugs help relieve migraine pain.  Evidence suggests that the drug interrupts the pathway of pain transmission between the brain (central nervous system) and nerves that extend from the spinal cord.

When you have a migraine, your body releases substances called neurotransmitters and molecules that are associated with pain. Botulinum toxin interferes with the transmission of these substances, typically where the nerves and muscles meet. Researchers think that when the drug is injected into the muscles around the face, head and neck, it is taken up by the nerves and interferes with pain-associated neurotransmission.

Using a very small needle, a specialist injects botulinum toxin into the tiny muscles under your skin throughout various areas around your face, head and neck.

You might get injections in your forehead, temples, and the back of your head and neck. Sometimes the specialist will inject areas called “trigger points” where the headache pain originates.

“These treatments for chronic migraines should be individualized, respecting the unique anatomy and origin points of pain in each patient,” Reddy says.

It can take several weeks and multiple treatments before you start experiencing relief from your migraines. Some patients find they can discontinue injections without frequent migraines returning. Others need regular treatments to keep migraines under control.

Traptox, or trapezius Botox, involves injecting botulinum toxin into the upper back/shoulder muscles to treat chronic tension, pain, stiffness, and headaches by temporarily relaxing the muscles. It offers relief in 3-7 days, lasting 3-5 months, and also provides a slimmer, "Barbie Botox" neckline. 

Traptox for Pain

• Pain Relief Mechanism: It works by blocking nerve signals that cause the trapezius muscle to contract, easing chronic tension, migraines, and stiffness in the neck and shoulders.
• Ideal Candidates: Those with chronic, intense shoulder/neck pain due to stress or overworked muscles, which does not resolve through stretching or massage.
• Procedure & Results: The 10-15 minute procedure involves multiple injections, with full results appearing within 2 weeks.
• Duration: The effects are temporary, lasting approximately 3–5 months, after which repeat treatments are necessary.
• Risks: Potential side effects include bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Improper injection by an unskilled provider can cause temporary shoulder dysfunction, such as weakness.
• Cost: As an "off-label" use for pain, it is often not covered by insurance. Anna Avaliani MD - Cosmetic & Laser Surgery +6
