What is Migraine Injections?

Migraine injections use a prescription neuromodulator containing onabotulinumtoxinA. In Canada, this medication is administered intramuscularly by a qualified medical professional. Treatment is considered for eligible adults with chronic migraine after a medical assessment of headache frequency, symptoms, health history, previous treatments, and individual suitability.

How Does the Treatment Work

OnabotulinumtoxinA affects the release of certain chemical messengers from peripheral nerve endings. In chronic migraine treatment, it is administered at selected sites across the head and neck according to an established medical protocol. Its preventive effect is thought to involve changes in pain signalling pathways rather than simply relaxing facial muscles.

Is the Treatment Safe?

Migraine injections are a prescription medical treatment and must be assessed and administered by a qualified physician using appropriate dosing and placement.

Before treatment, the physician reviews medical conditions, medications, allergies, migraine history, previous neuromodulator exposure, and any factors that may affect suitability.

Medical Suitability Review

The physician reviews your migraine diagnosis, health history, medications, previous treatments, and relevant symptoms before determining whether this treatment is appropriate.

Treatment follows a structured head and neck protocol. The physician determines the dose, placement, and any clinically appropriate adjustments.

You receive guidance on expected temporary reactions, aftercare, symptom tracking, and when to contact the clinic for further medical assessment.

Daily Preventive Medication vs. Migraine Injections

Daily preventive medications are taken regularly and may work through several neurological pathways. Their suitability depends on health history, migraine pattern, possible interactions, and individual tolerance.
Migraine injections are administered periodically using a defined head and neck protocol. A physician determines whether injections, oral medication, or a combined management plan is more appropriate.
