Abstract

The management of chronic migraine (CM) underwent a significant shift with the introduction of onabotulinumtoxin A (BoNT-A) injections following the landmark PREEMPT trial in 2010. Despite its efficacy, the existing injection protocol lacks precision, prompting a call for revision in light of modern ultrasound (US)-guided techniques. This article highlights the potential of US-guided injections to enhance accuracy, safety, and efficacy in CM treatment. By providing real-time visualization and addressing anatomical variations, US guidance offers a promising avenue for optimizing BoNT-A delivery, minimizing adverse effects, and ensuring therapeutic success.
