尊敬的妙佑医疗国际：我的偏头痛断断续续发作已有五年了，为此我饱受折磨。最近，我发现自己平时服用的口服药物似乎也没那么有效了。我知道市面上有一些更新型的药物，但一位朋友建议我试一试Botox注射。她很认真地告诉我，正是这种药物使她的慢性头痛得到了控制。我想请问一下，Botox注射的安全性怎么样？是如何起作用的？这种药物的治疗方案是什么？需要结合使用其他头痛药物吗？答：Botox又名A型肉毒杆菌毒素，其于2010年经美国食品药品管理局批准用于治疗慢性偏头痛。这种药物并不能根治此病。使用Botox注射治疗头痛的患者通常需要每三个月接受一次注射。
عزيزتي مايو كلينك: أعاني من الشقيقة (الصداع النصفي) بشكل متقطع لمدة خمس سنوات تقريبًا. في الآونة الأخيرة، يبدو أن العلاج الفموي الذي أستخدمه أقل فعالية. بالرغم من أنني أعلم بوجود أدوية جديدة، فقد اقترحت عليَّ إحدى صديقاتي أن أجرب حُقن البوتوكس. حيث تُقسم أنه سيطر على الصداع المزمن لديها. ما مدى أمان هذه الحقن وكيف يعمل البوتوكس؟ ما هو جدول العلاج، وهل سأحتاج أيضًا إلى تناول أدوية أخرى للصداع؟ الإجابة: تمت الموافقة على توكسين أونابوتولينوم أ، أو البوتوكس، من قبل إدارة الغذاء والدواء الأمريكية في عام 2010 لعلاج الشقيقة (الصداع النصفي) المزمنة. ولكنه ليسَ علاجًا نهائيًا. عادةً ما يتلقى الأشخاص الذين يتلقون حقن البوتوكس للصداع العلاج كل ثلاثة أشهر تقريبًا.

Essas injeções são seguras e como o Botox funciona? Qual é o cronograma de tratamento e eu também precisaria tomar outros medicamentos para dor de cabeça?
