Abstract: Background: Current literature for surgical deactivation of frontal migraine trigger points does not incorporate decompression of the supraorbital foramen or fascial bands at the supraorbital rim (frontal exit) as part of the surgical procedure.

The frontal region is a trigger for many patients’ symptoms, and the possibility for compression of the supratrochlear nerve by the corrugator muscle has been indirectly implied. To further …
