Treating chronic migraine with muscle relaxant is a clinically studied, approved therapy. At minimal med, we apply this protocol mainly for patients with chronic migraine who respond inadequately to conventional prophylaxis. The goal is not treating acute attacks, but reducing their frequency and intensity, for more days gained and fewer lost. Migraine treatment is part of our medical treatments.

How the Treatment Works

Detailed history: We discuss your migraine history and previous therapies.

Diagnosis: Verification that you are suitable for this treatment.

Treatment: Targeted injections at defined points in the head and neck area.

Documentation: We create a treatment plan for follow-up appointments.

Aftercare: Regular monitoring and adjustment of therapy.

The Evidence

How muscle relaxant can influence migraine: through inhibition of peripheral pain transmission and reduction of muscular triggers, the development of migraine attacks is modulated at multiple points. The PREEMPT studies form the clinical foundation of this therapy. The standardised protocol comprises 31 injection points at defined locations in the head and neck area.

Who Benefits?

The indication is for chronic migraine with at least 15 headache days per month. Important to understand: this treatment is not an alternative to acute pain therapy, but a prophylactic measure. Realistic expectations are crucial: the goal is reduction, not elimination of migraine. Close collaboration with neurology is a matter of course.

Giving Back Freedom

Migraine treatment is about your quality of life and giving you back a piece of freedom. If you also have fewer wrinkles afterwards, that's a welcome side effect, but not the goal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this treatment suitable for?

The treatment is approved for patients with chronic migraine (at least 15 headache days per month). For frequent episodic migraine that does not respond sufficiently to other therapies, it can be considered on a case-by-case basis as an off-label use, though the evidence here is considerably weaker than for chronic migraine. A medical diagnosis is required in both cases.

How quickly does the treatment work?

Most patients notice improvement after 2-4 weeks. The full effect often appears only after the second or third treatment.

How often must the treatment be repeated?

The treatment is usually performed every 3 months. With good results, it can be continued long-term.

Are there side effects?

Possible side effects include mild pain at injection sites, temporary muscle weakness in the treatment area, or mild headaches. These usually subside quickly.

Does health insurance cover the cost?

For chronic migraine with appropriate diagnosis, some health insurers cover the costs. For episodic migraine, the treatment is outside the approved indication and is usually a private, self-pay service. We are happy to advise you on reimbursement options.

What does the migraine treatment cost?

The treatment starts from 229 EUR. The exact cost depends on the individual treatment scope.
