I was having debilitating migraines and getting the Botox worked for me. I am due for my second round of treatment this week. They also injected some into my trapezius muscles (which were like a cord) and my scapular muscles. This also helped. I still have frontal headaches 24x7 but the Botox keeps me out of the "dark room" now.
