Chronic headaches

Reduce the frequency and intensity of your migraines with a medical, safe, and validated neuromodulator treatment.
Chronic Migraines

Condition descriptions

Chronic migraines are defined by the occurrence of recurrent and intense headaches more than 15 days per month, for at least 3 consecutive months. These attacks can last from a few hours to several days and are often accompanied by nausea, hypersensitivity to light (photophobia) and sound (phonophobia), as well as profound fatigue.

Chronic migraine is one of the most debilitating neurological conditions, affecting quality of life, productivity, and sleep. When it is resistant to conventional drug treatments, neuromodulator treatment offers an effective and well-tolerated medical alternative.

At SkinIn Clinic in Brossard, the neuromodulator treatment protocol for chronic migraines is performed by a qualified professional, using a medical, preventive, and personalized approach.

Causes

Chronic migraines can be triggered or worsened by several factors:
  • Stress and cervical and cranial muscle tension, the most frequent factors

  • Hormonal disorders: fluctuations during menopause or the menstrual cycle

  • Lack or excess of sleep, accumulated fatigue

  • Diet: alcohol (red wine), caffeine, tyramine (aged cheeses, cured meats)

  • Neurological factors: hypersensitivity of cranial nerves, trigeminal nerve activation

  • Prolonged posture, screen work, tension in the trapezius and neck

How to prevent

To reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks:
  • Maintain a regular sleep routine, going to bed and waking up at the same times

  • Identify and avoid personal triggers by keeping a migraine diary

  • Practice relaxation techniques: heart coherence, meditation, cervical stretches

  • Stay adequately hydrated throughout the day and maintain stable blood sugar levels

  • Consult a healthcare professional for a complete assessment and tailored treatment

Causes

Neuromodulatory treatment for chronic migraines:

Neuromodulator treatment is medically approved for the prevention of chronic migraines. The neuromodulating agent acts on nerve endings to decrease the release of pain-causing neurotransmitters and relaxes tension-causing muscles. Treatment Principle:

  • Precise injections into the muscle areas of the forehead, temples, scalp, occiput, neck, and trapezius

  • Blocks pain transmission at cranial nerve endings

  • Progressive effect: noticeable improvement from 2 to 3 weeks, with a significant reduction in attack frequency

Benefits:

  • 50% or greater reduction in migraine frequency for the majority of patients

  • Decreased intensity of attacks and analgesic consumption

  • Reduced neck and forehead tension

  • Improved sleep and daily comfort

  • No downtime

Maintenance: 1 session every 3 to 4 months.
