Corrugator Superciliaris Muscle Excision for Tension and Migraine Headaches

Abstract

Corrugator superciliaris muscle excision provides significant relief for headaches emanating from or localizing to the frontal and glabellar regions. Although improvement of migraine headaches has been previously described with this technique, this is the first report, to our knowledge, of effective surgical treatment of tension headaches by corrugator excision.
