Migraine

Hi all,
Has anyone here tried botox treatment for treating migraine? My sister is suffering from a severe migraine pain and she is not able to concentrate on anything. We had tried several medications for this, nothing worked. Now, she is applying peppermint oil on her forehead for a temporary relief. It is affecting her studies and other activities. Recently I read an article which is about migraine pain and botox treatment ( http://www.med-aesthetics.com/blog/botox-treatemnt/treating-migraines-hyperhidrosis-and-pain-with-botox/ ). It says that, by botox treatment, we can completely treat migraine pain. Is it true? We need a permanent solution for her problem. I don't want to see her in pain all the time. Can anyone suggest a better solution for this?

I have and it worked temporarily. It would only last 2-3 months for me.

Botox?

Botox only lasts for about 3 months so it needs to be injected roughly 4x a year.
