We all say that, “This is the worst pain ever!” whether it’s a headache, stomachache, or a stubbed toe. I myself always believed burns were the most unbearable pain a human could face.

The researchers have discovered that there’s a contender far worse than anything most of us have felt.

Pain Rating Scales:

Medical professionals use pain rating scales, usually from 0 to 10:

  • 1–3: Mild pain

Cluster Headaches: The Real Worst Pain

According to studies, the worst pain in the world is not childbirth, not kidney stones, not even burns — it’s cluster headaches.
• also known as the “suicide headache”
• Pain strikes around one eye, with tearing and restlessness
• Lasts 15 minutes to 3 hours
• Can happen several times a day for weeks

Other high-ranking pain conditions according to medical research:

  1. Kidney Stones

  2. Trigeminal Neuralgia

  3. Childbirth

  4. Burns

  5. Pancreatitis

Just reading this made me feel horrible :sweat_smile:. I’ve heard that kidney stones are extremely painful, but the explanation of cluster headaches sounds terrifying. To be honest, everyone experiences pain differently what is a ‘7’ for one person may be a ‘10’ for another. It makes me understand how tough people who have gone through these experiences are.

Pain is so subjective, childbirth, kidney stones, or severe burns can each feel like the worst when you’re experiencing them. It’s a reminder that managing and understanding pain is as individual as it gets.

Cluster headaches top the list not just for intensity, but for their relentless, repetitive nature and the psychological toll they take. The nickname “suicide headache” says it all.
