Interview: Jay Bhatt, MD, assistant professor of clinical neurology, IU School of Medicine
Neurologist, IU Health Physicians

So much attention has been focused on the cosmetic uses of botulinum toxin, usually known by its trade name, Botox, that it’s easy to forget about the drug’s serious medical uses.

For example, the FDA recently approved Botox for preventing chronic migraines.

Sound Medicine’s David Crabb, MD, sat down with Indiana University neurologist Jay Bhatt, MD, to learn how it works.

Dr. Bhatt is assistant professor of clinical neurology at the IU School of Medicine and practices with IU Health Physicians.
