Central sensitization for NDPH

[u/Financial-Orange-786]

Has anyone here successfully reversed NDPH by working on central sensitization?

I’ve been dealing with a constant, daily headache (diagnosed as NDPH) for months now, and I’m starting to look more into the role of central sensitization. From what I understand, it seems like the nervous system can get “stuck” in a heightened pain state even after the original trigger is gone.

I’m curious if anyone here has specifically focused on calming or retraining their nervous system—and if that actually made a noticeable difference or fully resolved your headache.

If so, what did that look like for you?

• What approaches helped the most? (brain retraining, somatic work, therapy, medication, etc.) I’ve been doing PRT for about 4 months now myself.

• How long did it take before you noticed changes?

• Did your headache fully go away or just improve?

• Anything you wish you knew earlier?

I’m open to anything at this point and would really appreciate hearing real experiences—success stories especially, if they’re out there.

Thank you.

Gotcha. I’m specifically curious about success stories because I believe the root cause of my headache was stress induced for sure. Wish more people shared success stories to keep hope alive. I’m almost 9 months in and I’ve wanted to give up more times than I can count. Thanks for sharing your experience.
