Incident 2day
Washington : A new study has claimed that Botox could be instrumental in relieving terrible spinal headaches.
According to the study Botox can be used in pain management in patients suffering from incapacitating spinal headaches caused by low levels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Remarkably, the only known way to alleviate pain, until the discovery of analgesic properties of Botox, was to lie down.

According to the study Botox can be used in pain management in patients suffering from incapacitating spinal headaches caused by low levels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Remarkably, the only known way to alleviate pain, until the discovery of analgesic properties of Botox, was to lie down.
The patient in the case study had suffered from low CSF pressure headaches for 25 years. For most of that time she only felt better while lying down, resulting in curtailment of her day-to-day activities.
The patient has received Botox for three years and the results have been consistently positive. After every administration of Botox, improvement would last for three months before pain returned, necessitating another dose.
The intensity of the patient’s headaches dropped from eight out of 10 on a visual pain scale to three out of 10, “to everybody’s surprise she made a remarkable improvement,” said Cutrer.
While Botox cannot eradicate the pain completely it can help the patients to live a relatively normal lives.
