Popis: Background The habituation phenomenon is a frequency-dependent form of non-associative learning which reflects the excitability level of both sensory and pain systems. We previously demonstrated a frequency-dependent deficit of habituation of the conventional blink reflex in cluster headache (CH) [1]. We investigated the habituation of the trigeminal nociceptive system by studying the habituation of the late component (R2) of the nociceptive blink reflex (nBR) in a wide range of stimulation frequencies in CH and paroxysmal hemicrania (PH).
