Treating chronic migraine with muscle relaxant is a clinically studied, approved therapy. At minimal med, we apply this protocol for patients who suffer from frequent migraines and 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.

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.
