"text": "Clinical trials demonstrate that Botox is highly effective for chronic migraines, with studies showing 8.2 fewer headache days per month in 70% of patients. Most people experience initial improvement within 2-4 weeks of first treatment, with optimal results typically achieved after 2-3 treatment cycles (24-36 weeks). The medication reduces migraine frequency by 50% or more in approximately 47-70% of patients, with individual results varying based on baseline headache frequency, treatment adherence, and lifestyle factors.",

"@type": "Answer",

Most major insurance plans now cover the medication for FDA-approved chronic migraine indications, often reducing patient costs to $20-$100 copayments. Medicare and over 95% of commercial insurers provide coverage after prior authorization approval. Manufacturer assistance programs and copay cards can further reduce costs for eligible patients.",

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Good candidates for Botox include adults diagnosed with chronic migraines (15+ headache days per month with at least 8 migraine days) who have failed at least two oral preventive medications. Ideal patients are those with treatment-resistant migraines, medication overuse headaches, or intolerance to conventional preventive therapies. Your neurologist will evaluate factors including headache pattern, medical history, current medications, and potential contraindications such as neuromuscular disorders or pregnancy.",
