On July 9, 2010, British regulators approved the use of Botox for the treatment of Migraine Headaches.  It is expected that the U.S. will shortly follow.

Ok, considering the fact these treatments have been around for many years and in fact, Dr. Cantrell was one of the first in the area to offer such treatments, it’s nice that the Government will make it “official” soon.  For those patients that think anything ‘not approved’ by the FDA is ‘illegal’ please note that the use of ice packs to reduce swelling has never been approved by the FDA along with many other standard practices used everyday in medicine.  So, if you suffer from debilitating Migraine Headaches you can choose to wait and see if the FDA approves of you being treated; or, you can can choose to dramatically reduce the severity and frequency of your headaches for up to a year, right now.

By the way, all those cool Botox treatments that you’ve been so pleased with for your forehead, crows feet around the eyes, frowns around your lips, etc. - they’re not FDA approved either.
