Myokymia, the involuntary muscle contraction affecting the eyelid, can also manifest as a twitch in the eyebrow region. This subtle, repetitive movement arises from minor nerve or muscle irritation. For instance, stress or fatigue might trigger these brief spasms.
Identifying the origin of such minor muscle activity is important for ruling out more serious underlying conditions. Often, these muscle twitches are benign and resolve independently. Recognizing potential triggers facilitates proactive management. Historically, observations have linked increased stress levels with increased incidences of such muscle activity.
