I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream With An Ice Cream Headache
For anyone who has experienced the dull ache in their head after slurping an ice cream cone on a warm summer's day, the terms brain freeze or cold headache are probably not unfamiliar. However, did you know that an ice cream headache had a technical name as well?
An ice cream headache can also be referred to as Spheno Palatine Gangleoneuralgia. This type of headache is unique in that it occurs only after eating or drinking a food or beverage. These foods and beverages are not limited to ice cream; in fact, they can include many other cold or frozen foods, such as margaritas or slurpees. When these items are consumer quickly, the chance of acquiring an ice cream headache increases.
The Science Behind an Ice Cream Headache
When a cold food or beverage touches the roof of your mouth. This causes a group of nerves located on the roof of your mouth, known as pterygopalatine ganglion, to begin to spasm. These nerves send instructions to the blood vessels in the brain to dilate. Because headaches are caused by dilated blood vessels in the brain, this causes you to experience an ice cream headache.
The resulting ice cream headache typically ends within ten to twenty seconds; however, some ice cream headaches last fifteen to sixty seconds, and in rare cases an ice cream headache could last up to five minutes! The pain caused by this headache has been classified as "referred pain." Referred pain occurs when the site of the pain is different from the region where the pain was simulated.
Relieve the Pain
There are several methods that can be used to reduce the pain that comes from an ice cream headache. Some people say that the pain can be stopped by moving the tongue to the roof of your mouth in order to bring warmth to the area. Others say that, when sipped slowly, water at room temperature will do the trick. Laying your head to one side, and breathing rapidly while covering your mouth are also two suggested ways to overcome the pain caused by an ice cream headache.
How Common is an Ice Cream Headache?
It is thought that approximately thirty percent of the population experiences an ice cream headache. Many studies have determined that ice cream headaches are more common in people who experience migraines; for example, the data from one study states that ice cream headaches occur in ninety-one percent of those who experience migraine headaches, while they only occur in thirty-one percent of those who do not.

Alien Head Ice Cube Tray $9.99 Can you believe it's been 30 years since the original Alien movie? Some of our younger monkeys weren't even alive when it came out - but that doesn't stop them from being major fans. Touted as one of the greatest movie monsters of all time, the original Alien designed by H.R. Giger was an amazing sight to behold. Not to mention that it haunted our dreams for weeks - nay, MONTHS! But that's what kept us coming back, got our butts in the theater to see the sequel, and got our credit cards out to buy the DVDs to watch again and again at home. There's something about an iconic monster like the Alien that makes us both terrified and gleeful. If you're a fan of the original Alien, this ice cube tray needs to be in your kitchen arsenal. Freeze water in it to make intricately detailed Alien heads - two big chaps and four lil' ones - and pop them into your favorite beverage. Grape Koolaid plus a bit of extra food coloring will get your ice close to the color of the original Big Chap. Or melt candy or chocolate into the molds to make scary sugary things.
