Neurology Procedures

UPMC neurology experts offer a full range of procedures to treat neurological conditions, providing symptom relief personalized to your unique needs.

What Are Neurology Procedures?

Neurology procedures involve injections or other therapies to treat the symptoms of neurological disorders.

You may be eligible for neurology procedures if you are diagnosed with migraines or a movement disorder and meet other treatment criteria.

Neurology procedures we offer include:

Botox® for migraines — A type of botulinum toxin injection that blocks nerve signals to muscles, reducing chronic migraine pain.
Botox for movement disorders — A type of botulinum toxin injection that blocks nerve signals to muscles, causing them to relax. It is used to treat movement disorders, such as dystonia, spasticity, essential tremor, hemifacial spasm, and blepharospasm.
Nerve block shots — A long-lasting way to block nerve pain signals.
Trigger point shots — Treat cluster headaches, migraines, and sometimes tension headaches by reducing muscle pain.

Your doctor will evaluate your condition and recommend a procedure to help manage your symptoms.
