And depending on your particular provider, maybe that's a procedural suite, maybe it's hospital-based, maybe it's a clinical setting.

Botox is injected into 31 sites in seven muscle groups that the FDA has approved.

Those are gonna be in the head, neck, and you'll start with two treatments.

So those are gonna be 12 weeks apart and then we continue every 12 weeks thereafter.

So oftentimes we want to make sure that we set up at least both of those appointments to start with.

I think patients are often surprised to find out that they do this every three months and just four times a year.

It's a super common concern.

And so we'll often sit there and we'll explain it to them and they'll say, Oh my gosh, 31 injections.

And you go, Yeah.

And they might feel discomfort.

However, many patients tell me that the injections feel like tiny pinches.

It's a perfect question, Nora.

And it's one that I get all the time.

In the data that was presented to the FDA, Botox prevented on average eight to nine headache days and migraine or probable migraine days a month at 24 weeks versus six to seven with placebo.

While patients may feel results sooner than that, Botox's full treatment effect is measured after two treatments, and so that's a total of 24 weeks.

So the Botox experience that you're gonna have will be different based.

on the patient certainly.

So after we kind of get over the the needle discussion and we kind of move through that, cost tends to be something that patients will be concerned about.

The truth is that most payers, most insurance companies, whether that's Medicaid, Medicare, commercial insurance, even some of the co-op programs that are out there do accept Botox for chronic migraine as a therapy that they will have coverage for to some degree.

And you can get some resources.
