['To determine if migraineurs have evidence of interictal cutaneous sensitisation.', 'Thermal and mechanical pain thresholds in 20 episodic migraineurs, 20 chronic migraineurs, and 20 non-migraine control subjects were compared. Quantitative sensory testing was conducted when subjects had been migraine-free for at least 48\u2009h. Heat, cold and mechanical pain thresholds, and heat and cold pain tolerance thresholds were measured.', 'Thermal pain thresholds and thermal pain tolerance thresholds differed significantly by headache group (P\u2009=\u20090.001). During the interictal period, episodic and chronic migraineurs were more sensitive to thermal stimulation than non-migraine controls.'] Are episodic and chronic migraineurs hypersensitive to thermal stimuli between migraine attacks?
