Mr Hirst, from Sheffield, said the pain in his ear was so intense he would often bang his head on the wall to distract himself.

Did it work?

I suffer from cluster headaches. This is common among cluster headache sufferers.

It does help, actually.

Although most don’t use walls since your head tends to go right through the plasterboard. A hardcover book is just as effective and doesn’t require patching and painting afterward.
