Cephalalgia 25:75-8. 2005..There was no allodynia when the right frontal area was stimulated directly.

Headache 44:1010-2. 2004..The presence of BA in CH may be related to CH type (episodic vs. chronic) and to the duration of disease. These results support the concept that allodynia in CH may result from a time-dependent process of neuronal sensitization... - Botulinum toxin type A for the treatment of headache: why we say yesAvi Ashkenazi
