Adult Migraine Care in New Jersey
Specialty neurology care for chronic migraines and recurring headaches — including FDA-approved Botox treatment
From a board-certified clinician with the National Headache Foundation's Certificate of Added Qualification in Headache Medicine.
If you've been living with chronic migraines, you already know how disruptive they are. The pain that derails workdays. The fatigue between attacks. The medications that work for a while and then stop working. The frustration of providers who don't take the cumulative impact seriously.
Neurokin offers specialty migraine care in New Jersey — not general neurology. Karina Campos, APN-BC, holds the Certificate of Added Qualification in Headache Medicine through the National Headache Foundation. That credential is held by very few clinicians nationally. It reflects specific training in chronic migraine management, abortive and preventive treatment strategies, and the procedural skills required for FDA-approved Botox treatment.
Most migraine sufferers in NJ have to choose between three frustrating options: an overbooked academic neurology center with a six-month waitlist, a generalist who treats migraines as a side specialty, or relying on their primary care doctor and over-the-counter medications. Neurokin offers a fourth option — specialty private-pay migraine care without the waitlist.
We see migraine patients in New Jersey only. NY availability is on the roadmap but not yet active.
Whether you've been newly diagnosed with chronic migraines, your current treatment isn't working, or you're specifically seeking Botox treatment in New Jersey — we offer the specialty depth this condition requires.
Migraines Are a Neurological Condition — Not Just "Bad Headaches"
Migraine is a chronic neurological condition. The headache pain is one symptom among several — including nausea, light and sound sensitivity, visual disturbances, fatigue, and cognitive impairment that can persist for days after the acute attack ends.
Chronic migraine is defined as headaches occurring on 15 or more days per month, for more than three months, with at least eight of those days meeting full migraine criteria. If that pattern matches your experience, you're not just dealing with frequent headaches — you're managing a chronic neurological condition that responds to specialty treatment differently than occasional migraines do.
Episodic migraine (fewer than 15 headache days per month) and chronic migraine often respond to different treatment approaches. Part of what specialty migraine evaluation does is map exactly where your migraines fall on this spectrum, identify your specific triggers and patterns, and build a treatment plan calibrated to your presentation rather than a generic protocol.
Our Approach to Migraine Care
Migraine care at Neurokin is structured, individualized, and grounded in current evidence. We take time to understand your specific presentation — your trigger patterns, your treatment history, what's worked and what hasn't, and how migraines are actually affecting your daily life.
Our migraine care includes:
Comprehensive migraine evaluation
Detailed history of your headache pattern, trigger identification, prior treatment review, and current functional impact assessment.
Diagnostic workup when indicated
We assess for primary headache disorders (migraine, tension-type, cluster) and rule out secondary causes. Imaging is referred out when appropriate.
Trigger and lifestyle management
Sleep hygiene, hydration, dietary triggers, stress management, hormonal patterns, and environmental factors. Identification, not just generic advice.
Abortive and preventive medication management
Triptans, gepants, ergot derivatives, beta blockers, anticonvulsants, CGRP inhibitors. We prescribe and manage what fits your presentation.
Botox for chronic migraines
FDA-approved Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) treatment for patients meeting chronic migraine criteria. Karina is trained and certified in the standard 31-injection protocol.
Coordination with other providers
Communication with your PCP, OB-GYN, or other specialists when migraine care intersects with other conditions.
Who Migraine Care at Neurokin Is For
Our migraine care is designed for adults in New Jersey who need specialty-level attention to their migraine presentation. You might be a good fit if you're:
An adult with chronic migraines (15+ headache days per month). Looking for specialty evaluation and a treatment plan that goes beyond generic protocols.
Someone whose current migraine treatment isn't working. Triptans aren't enough. Preventive medications haven't reduced frequency. The PCP-managed approach has hit its limits.
A patient specifically seeking Botox for chronic migraines. And looking for an experienced provider in New Jersey who handles the full evaluation, treatment planning, and injection protocol.
Someone with co-occurring conditions. ADHD, autism, AuDHD, anxiety, or depression alongside chronic migraines. Migraines often co-occur with these conditions, and integrated care produces better outcomes.
An adult tired of long waitlists. Specialty neurology in NJ often means months-long waits at academic centers. We offer specialty migraine care without the waitlist.
About Botox for Chronic Migraines
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved injectable preventive treatment specifically indicated for chronic migraines. The approval applies to adults with chronic migraine — 15 or more headache days per month, at least 8 of which are migraine days, for more than three months.
The treatment is an in-office procedure. Karina performs the standard 31-injection protocol across seven specific muscle groups in the head and neck. The injections take about 15 minutes. Treatments are repeated every 12 weeks. Many patients experience a meaningful reduction in migraine frequency and intensity within two treatment cycles.
Botox isn't right for every migraine sufferer, but for adults with chronic migraine specifically, it's one of the most effective preventive treatments available. The specialty piece is doing the evaluation correctly, confirming the chronic migraine diagnosis, and executing the injection protocol with precision.

Your Questions About Migraine Care at Neurokin, Answered
Do you treat migraines outside New Jersey?
Not at this time. Migraine services are New Jersey-only in Phase 1. NY availability is planned but not yet active. ADHD, autism, and AuDHD evaluation services are available in five states (NJ, NY, DC, FL, CA), but migraine care specifically is NJ-only for now.
What credentials does Karina hold for migraine care?
Karina Campos, APN-BC, holds the Certificate of Added Qualification in Headache Medicine through the National Headache Foundation, in addition to her board certification as an Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. The headache medicine credential reflects specific training in chronic migraine management, including procedural Botox treatment.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Most new migraine patients are scheduled within 2-3 weeks of inquiry. Compare to 3-6 month waitlists at NJ academic neurology centers — we offer the same specialty depth with much shorter waits.
How is migraine care priced?
Initial consultation is $425 for the comprehensive ~60-minute visit. Follow-up visits are $175 (or $150 grandfathered for existing patients in continuous care). Botox sessions are $2,150 each, or $8,000 for an annual bundle of 4 sessions ($600 savings). All evaluation tools are included in the consultation price.
Do you accept insurance for migraine care?
No. Neurokin is private-pay across all services. We accept HSA/FSA cards directly and provide a superbill for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. Many PPO plans reimburse 40-70% of out-of-network specialty visits and Botox treatments after the out-of-network deductible.
What's the process for getting Botox for chronic migraines?
First, a comprehensive consultation to confirm chronic migraine diagnosis (15+ headache days per month, 8+ migraine days, for 3+ months). If you meet criteria and decide to proceed, the first Botox session is scheduled — about 30 minutes total visit time including the 31-injection protocol. Treatments are repeated every 12 weeks. Most patients see meaningful responses by the second treatment cycle.
What if I'm not sure whether my headaches qualify as chronic migraines?
That's exactly what the consultation is for. Many adults with chronic migraines have never been formally diagnosed because their PCP-managed care didn't include the specialty evaluation needed to differentiate chronic migraine from episodic migraine, tension-type headache, or other primary headache disorders. The consultation maps your specific presentation against diagnostic criteria.
Do you treat migraines in patients who also have ADHD or autism?
Yes, frequently. Migraines often co-occur with ADHD, autism, and AuDHD. We're well-positioned to handle these intersections — particularly when ADHD medications affect migraine patterns, when autistic sensory experiences amplify migraine triggers, or when AuDHD presentation complicates standard migraine treatment protocols.
Can I get a second opinion if I'm already in care elsewhere?
Yes. Many of our migraine patients come for second opinions when their current treatment isn't working or when they want specialty-level review of a complex presentation. Bring your current care plan and treatment history — we'll review it as part of the consultation.
What happens if Botox doesn't work for me?
Botox response varies. Most patients who meet chronic migraine criteria see meaningful reduction in frequency and intensity by the second treatment cycle. If you don't respond, we adjust the treatment plan — that might mean different preventive medications (CGRP inhibitors, beta blockers, anticonvulsants), additional trigger-pattern work, or referral for procedures we don't offer in-house. We don't keep patients on Botox if it isn't working.
