Next best thing to having someone else holding the nail before you hit it, is to smear Ora Jel over the hit area and lightly bandage it. In a couple of seconds the pain will be gone.

Better yet to use a screw or nail gun to avoid these mishaps.
I agree that as CH sufferers we should be more sympathetic to those in pain.
