Like the US, Botox is only approved to treat adults but it is estimated a tenth of school-aged children and teens suffer from migraines. The study included nine children and teens aged eight to 17 who suffered from migraines from eight to 29.5 days per month.
和美国一样,英国只允许用肉毒杆菌治疗成年人,但据估计,十分之一的学龄儿童和青少年都患有偏头痛。该研究包括9名8至17岁的儿童和青少年,他们每个月受偏头痛影响的天数从8天到29.5天不等。
Most had tried numerous medications and other therapies without much relief. All received Botox injections in the front and back of the head and neck every 12 weeks and were evaluated over a five-year period. After treatment, the patients experienced migraines two to 10 days per month. When they did have an attack, their headaches didn't last as long.
大多数孩子都尝试了各种各样的药物和其它治疗方法,但却没有多大用处。研究人员每12周对所有的孩子进行肉毒杆菌注射(在头部前后以及颈部注射),连续5年如此。治疗后,患者每个月偏头痛次数降至2-10天。虽然还是会偏头痛,但持续时间却没那么久了。
Lead author Assistant Clinical Professor Dr Shalini Shah at the University of California said: "When children and teens have migraine pain, it can severely affect their lives and ability to function.
首席作者加利福尼亚大学的临床助理教授沙利尼·沙阿博士说道:"当儿童和青少年患有偏头痛时,他们的生活和功能能力会受到严重影响。"
