Canada: Targeted Diagnostic Botox Injections Can Identify Trigger Sites for Migraine

Hassan ElHawary, M.D., from the McGill University Health Centre in Montreal, and colleagues examined the diagnostic capacity of Botox in a sensitivity analysis performed on 40 patients receiving Botox for migraine trigger site localization followed by surgical decompression of affected peripheral nerves.
