A large percentage of the population is afflicted with chronic headaches and migraines. This number seems to be on the rise, a treatments were pretty much a hit and miss affair until this wonderful little discovery.
Scientists have begun using Botox for migraines and headache relief. When injected in a patient's forehead, Botox apparently acts like a muscle relaxant which apparently greatly reduces the effects of chronic migraines. It's funny to think that a cosmetic procedure and treatment, can actually help to resolve a real medical issue. I guess science, while not always in the pursuit of the greater good, can still yield solid medical benefits. We should see a rise in the use of Botox in the next few years as an option when treating real medical problems as opposed to making wrinkles go away.
