Abstract
The invention is a method for reducing headache pain and symptoms associated with the onset or occurrence of headache in mammals. The method is performed by delivering an invertebrate presynaptic neurotoxin to a mammal extramuscularly (preferably at a localized, site of pain), or at a site in one or more muscles (preferably muscles of the face, cranium and neck). The presynaptic neurotoxins administered according to the invention are those neurotoxins that are known to produce a reversible, flaccid paralysis of muscle tissue in mammals. The preferred neurotoxin for use in the method of the invention is Botulinum toxin, particularly Botulinum toxin A.
