AbstractThe most important studies on weather-related pain have been analysed and their results compared. Since different medicometeorological classifications were used, and individual reactions to the weather vary considerably, it is possible to recognize unequivocal, universally valid relationships only with difficulty. Rheumatic pain arises mainly in a cold front area, in unstable polar air, and in thunderstorms. Amputation- and scar-related pain is similarly dependent upon changes in the weather. Headaches and migraine are typical signs of an imminent change in the weather. The question as to whether or not the endorphin concentration is of significance for meteorogenic pain is discussed, and possible influences of atmospherics activity noted.
