thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, migraine is a difficult disorder to treat. The few treatments available do not work in everyone. Dissatisfaction has led many desperate patients to try out whatever is available. The problem is that doctors tend to make promises about every new therapy. Personally, my patients have not had any significant relief from Botox. The NICE data analyses was based on the initial clinical trials on about 1300 migraine patients who were treated with botox. I am sure there are patients who have had relief from botox, but one cannot discount the placebo effect.
