Management of this type of a headache is quite simple. Avoid the stimulus. Fortunately, this type of a headache, while uncomfortable, is short in duration and eases once the trigger is removed.
Take Home Points
A cold stimulus headache occurs after exposure to a cold trigger on one's head or palate/throat and resolves after the trigger is removed.
This type of a headache may be more common in migraineurs, but more studies need to be done to confirm this association.
Of course, if you have any questions or concerns regarding your headache diagnosis or if you have a new onset headache or one that follows a different pattern, contacting your healthcare provider is important.
