Anyone Experience Tinnitus Reduction with Botox Treatment for Migraines?

[Arseny]

Hello,

One of the clinics I visited offers Botox injections near temples and other parts of the head. They seem legit (it's a huge hospital with 3 buildings) and they claim to have EU license for this treatment. (

I have headaches from hyperacusis (hyperacusis manifests itself in migraines, headaches, brain zaps, electric shocks in different parts of my head).
It completely went away with 2 weeks of silence, but comes back after each noise exposure (safe for other people).

Has anyone done these injections before?
Have you noticed an improvement in tinnitus or hyperacusis?

I don't know if it's worth it (it's pretty expensive) and what risks this procedure can have, because it's not just a simple injection to remove wrinkles in your forehead.

I contacted Myriam Westcott regarding the Stellate Ganglion Nerve Block mentioned in an article. She just replied this morning. Apparantly the patient later received Botox that gave even more relief.

(This was for sound induced pain, and not Tinnitus.)

However, there are reports of Botox casuing Tinnitus...

–Did you also read where Miram Westcott suggested a trial of using Lyrica?

Tonic tensor tympani syndrome induced trigeminal nerve irritability can lead to severe persistent pain. This may be in the form of a chronic dull ache in and around the ear and/or a sharp stabbing aural pain, developing or increasing following exposure to intolerable sounds.

– Symptoms of numbness/burning in and around the ear are also consistent with trigeminal nerve irritation.

– Referral to a pain specialist or neurologist is recommended for those patients with chronic pain. Medications such as Endep of Lyrica can be trialled.

– A stellate ganglion block has been effective for temporary pain relief in one ASD patient, confirming sympathetic nervous system involvement, and further trials are being carried out.
