The foundation cited a 2023 study of more than 15,000 migraine sufferers in Japan that linked an increase in headaches during barometric pressure changes, humidity and rainfall.
These conditions bring a mix of environmental triggers — high humidity, sudden changes in barometric pressure, and glare from the sun — all of which can worsen migraine symptoms. Sunlight ...
Mehrotra said that rain, dry air and changes in barometric pressure can trigger winter migraines. "Any barometric pressure change can affect sinuses causing chemical imbalances and headaches ...
The first publication to document a change in pain perception associated with the weather was the American Journal of the Medical Sciences in 1887. This involved a single case report describing a person with phantom limb pain, and it concluded that "approaching storms, dropping barometric pressure and rain were associated with increased pain complaint."
Referred pain from barosinusitis to the maxilla consists about one-fifth of in-flight barodontalgia (i.e., pain in the oral cavity caused by barometric pressure change) cases. [11] [12] Although the environment of fighter pilots produces the most stressful barometric changes, commercial flying has changed the picture of the disease.
Sudden barometric pressure changes during tropical systems can cause sinus pressure resulting in a chemical imbalance and headache, according to the Nebraska University Health Center.
Dysbarism refers to medical conditions resulting from changes in ambient pressure. [1] Various activities are associated with pressure changes. Underwater diving is the most frequently cited example, but pressure changes also affect people who work in other pressurized environments (for example, caisson workers), and people who move between different altitudes.
Central pain syndrome, also known as central neuropathic pain, [1] is a neurological condition consisting of constant moderate to severe pain due to damage to the central nervous system (CNS) which causes a sensitization of the pain system. [2] [3] The extent of pain and the areas affected are related to the cause of the injury. [4]
