Harvard Medical School scientists who say they have a better idea of
what causes brain freeze, believe that their study could eventually pave
the way to more effective treatments for various types of headaches
, such as migraine-related ones, or pain caused by brain injuries.
Brain freeze, also known as an ice-cream headache or cold-stimulus headache has the very long scientific name of sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia. It is a kind of short-term headache typically linked to the rapid consumption of ice-cream, ice pops, or very cold drinks.
