Pain Ends on Trigeminal Sensitisation
The claim
Headache resolution is set by the ratio of central sensitisation to descending inhibition, so the attack ends when inhibition recovers the balance.
01Mechanism
Sensitisation maintains pain; the ratio determines when it subsides.
02Prediction
Duration should track the ratio.
03Refutation
Duration tracking trigger strength would remove inhibition.
