Central pain amplification is one of the key reasons migraines evolve from occasional episodes into a more frequent, long-lasting pattern. When the brain is repeatedly exposed to pain signals, it adapts by amplifying those signals, making migraines more frequent, more intense, and harder to control.
In people living with migraine, the brain and brainstem become overly sensitive to incoming sensory information. Normal stimuli, such as light, sound, muscle tension, or mild stress can trigger disproportionate pain responses.
This heightened sensitivity lowers the threshold for migraine attacks and sustains the migraine cycle.
This process does not happen overnight.
Addressing central pain amplification is essential for long-term migraine control.
