The article concludes:
There is much anecdotal but little empirical evidence for the effect of weather changes on pain. Much of the literature consists of either case studies or experimental investigations with few subjects and a reliance on self-report measures. Laboratory studies to determine the exact mechanism of action have been largely unsuccessful. Nonetheless, the mere frequency of report suggests a significant relationship between weather changes and pain intensity. This neglected topic deserves attention by both basic scientists and clinical researchers
