We now know the fact that a considerable number of patients who have been receiving Botox treatments for cosmetic purposes have claimed to be cured of obstinate migraine headaches and other types of headaches, almost coincidentally. Initially no one knew why such a phenomenon occurred, because a migraine headache was believed to be caused by problems in the membrane covering the surface of the brain (membranous coverings) and the blood vessels in the brain. Several hypotheses have been proposed in recent years, and now there are movements to review the concepts and mechanisms of migraine headache, through Botox treatment. Dr. Kure has worked as a medical specialist in plastic surgery and aesthetic surgery in the U.S., and has been impressed by the wonderful e ects of Botox on various occasions. He has treated many patients who used to receive the treatment for cosmetic purposes and eventually changed their purpose in seeing me to one involving the treatment for their headaches. He is a physician who originally specialized in neuropathology and neurosurgery. In the past he has also examined many patients su ering from headaches. *Dr. Kure was formerly trained in neuroscience prior to the plastic surgery training, and he is board-certi ed in neuropathology (USA) and board-eligible in neurosurgery (USA). Because of such background, Dr. Kure also sees patients su ering from migraine headaches. He has been treating these patients with Botox. * To check Dr. Kure’s credentials regarding the neuroscience background, converted by Web2PDFConvert.com
