Referred pain mechanisms cause sensations to appear to originate within the human skull

Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Referred pain mechanisms, particularly involving convergence within the trigeminocervical complex, frequently cause pain sensations to appear within the head and skull.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently support the physiological basis of referred craniofacial pain through trigeminocervical convergence, demonstrating how pain originating outside the skull (such as in the cervical spine) is perceived as originating within it.

Gutierrez GG, McCormick ZL, Engle MP, Gilmore CA, Pingree MJ, Pope JE, DiBenedetto DJ, Kissoon NR, Sayal PK, Zurn CA, Crosby ND, Boggs JW. A multicenter, prospective, single-arm study of 60-day peripheral nerve stimulation of the occipital nerves for the treatment of headache.. 2025. https://doi.org/10.1111/head.14948

Demonstrates how stimulation of occipital nerves effectively treats headaches by addressing pain mechanisms originating near the skull.
