Abstract

This article focuses on the usage of Botox type A (BoNT-A) as a treatment for migraines in patients. Almost 10% of the global population suffers from migraines, with middle-aged and young women being the most prevalent users of BoNT-A. BoNT-A functions by blocking acetylcholine release, preventing neuro exocytosis, and causing selective nerve terminal targeting. It has been utilised to treat a variety of medical conditions, including focal dystonias, spasticity, muscle spasms, achalasia, and blepharospasm.
