Many migraine patients report on increased aversion to various sensory stimuli during an acute attack.These include aversion to sound (phonophobia), light (photophobia), odours (osmophobia) and mechanical or thermal stimuli to the skin (cutaneous allodynia).We developed a method to evaluate aversion to sound in humans in a quantitative way.We used this method to assess sound aversion in migraine subjects both between and within attacks, and to compare it to that of healthy controls.
