"Ice cream headache" is the result of sudden coldness stimulating one of the cranial nerves (believe it is the facial nerve) causing the pain. I have found that if I follow the icecream with liquid that is room temp or at least warmer than the icecream, the head-ache immediately goes away.
And for all wondering what the devil my subject line is - well it's a medical rhyme that helps students to remember the 12 cranial nerves.
