• Use of any headache prophylactic medication within 28 days prior to the start of the screening
• Any medical condition that may put the patient at increased risk with exposure to Botulinum Toxin Type A, including diagnosed myasthenia gravis, Eaton-Lambert syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or any other significant disease that might interfere with neuromuscular function
• Participants with a known or suspected Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD), including pain in or around the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)
