A gene has been discovered that controls the sensitivity of pain nerves in the brain. If this is not working correctly then it can result in the sensitivity being set too low, resulting in migraine.

I wonder if this might also help with CH?

My ex-wives discovered that years ago.  Every one of them said "Gene you give me a headache."

Yes, especially with what is now in the article.

The discovery was exciting because TRESK controls the sensitivity of pain nerves in the trigeminal ganglion, an area at the base of the brain.

It looks like our special nerve is controlled by this gene, so it's even more likely that this might also help us.

From another article on the same subject: "Some researchers have argued that a fall in air pressure reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood."

There's hope for us yet.
