Background: Surgical deactivation of migraine trigger sites offers an alternate treatment option for patients with recalcitrant headaches who are unresponsive to medical therapies or for those who are unable to take medications. The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive review and a prevalence analysis of 2590 migraine surgery trigger sites in 1010 patients over a 14-year study period.
