Trait- and Frequency-Dependent Dysfunctional Habituation to Trigeminal Nociceptive Stimulation in Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalalgias.

• Trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias share a deficit of habituation to trigeminal pain.• Defective habituation to pain is detectable only at faster stimulation frequencies.• In TACs common pathogenetic factors parallel with similarities in clinical features.
