Nerve Block Injections

This intervention involves the administration of supratrochlear and greater occipital nerve block injections. The injections consist of a mixture of local anesthetics and corticosteroids, designed to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine episodes. The procedure will be repeated every 12 weeks for a total duration of 6 months to assess the long-term efficacy and safety in managing chronic migraine.

DRUG

Botulinum Toxin A

Participants in this arm will receive Botulinum toxin A injections as per the PREEMPT protocol tailored for chronic migraine treatment. The treatment involves multiple injections around the head and neck regions, administered every 12 weeks over a 6-month period. This standard approach aims to reduce migraine frequency through neuromodulation of pain pathways.
