Overall this suggests that for their pilot study (20 with CH, 16 controls), that people with CH have lower pain thresholds, plus other impacts.
This surprised me at first as I'm sure that my pain threshold is a lot higher than it was pre-CH plus have surprised a few medical professionals with my ability to handle pain. I've also seen some similar comments posted here from others.
However there is likely to be a significant difference between those with well managed and controlled CH to those who are not in control of their CH. It may be that this group dominates the 20 people with CH in the study.
It is good to see another journal article calling for "...the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of patients with CH". The more articles like this the better so that more neurologists and other doctors learn more about CH.
