Chronic migraine is difficult to treat and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Several pharmacological treatments have been shown to be effective in placebo-controlled randomized trials and our patients therapy was between these: topiramate and local injection of botulinum toxin. Both therapies are reported to be effective in patients with chronic migraine with and without medication overuse. Ultrasound guidance provide many advantages and permits to visualize the spread of the drugs.

Several pharmacological treatments have been shown to be effective in placebo-controlled randomized trials and our patients therapy was between these: topiramate and local injection of botulinum toxin. Both therapies are reported to be effective in patients with chronic migraine with and without medication overuse.
