This is a common experience, it seems. Almost no one reports CH attacks getting lighter. I wonder why this is. Mine came back after a couple of years with more frequent attacks, each of longer duration. This doesn't make any more sense than anything else about CH.
Massage is good. It helps me sometimes to rub my head as hard as a can. Sometimes just squeezing it helps - but it is hard to do that and apply the heat I need at the same time.
Try heat and cold applications. At least they serve as a distraction and help the time pass until the attack is over.
