Treatment of medication-overuse headache (MOH)

Botulinum toxin – perhaps best known as Botox for wrinkles – is also used as a medical treatment for chronic migraine. By injecting small amounts into 31 points around the head, neck, and shoulders, pain signals that would otherwise trigger a migraine attack are blocked. The treatment takes approximately 10 minutes and can be repeated every 3–4 months if effective.

What is a concussion - and when does it become post-concussion syndrome?

A concussion occurs when the brain is subjected to a forceful impact or jolt. It is a mild traumatic brain injury that does not show up on a scan, but can significantly impact your daily life.

Most people recover within two to four weeks, but for some, the symptoms persist - this is known as post-concussion syndrome, and it is not something you should simply accept.

If symptoms last more than four weeks, it is called post-concussion syndrome. If they extend over months, it is referred to as persistent post-concussion symptoms. Both conditions can and should be treated.
