I get migraines and I occasionally seem to get some relief by eating something
that is a little too hot for me so I get a lasting and slightly uncomfortable
mouth burn.  Hard  to do when the migraine leaves you nauseated.  I also
remember reading about an experiment where they had people with headaches (not
sure if it was migraines or cluster headaches) and they took a qtip dipped in
capsiacin and dabbed some deep inside the nostril on the side that was
hurting.  My memory is that it helped somewhat but since nobody is marketing
it, maybe not.  Try checking Medline.

I have a problem with my eye where it gets scratched repeatedly and is very
painful and I've discovered, by accident, that a little (not a lot) of chile-
eye actually relieves the pain for a little while.  Probably at least partly
by stimulating lots of tears.
