An ice-cream headache also known as brain freeze cold-stimulus headache or its given scientific name sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia (meaning nerve pain of the sphenopalatine ganglion-and is also considered a misnomer since the pain nerves have nothing to do with the sphenopalatine/pterygopalatine ganglion but travel along the trigeminal nerves described below) is a form of brief cranial pain or headache commonly associated with consumption (particularly quick consumption) of cold beverages or foods such as ice cream and ice pops.
