Before going into the description of "Sharp Pain" it must be clear that a flight consists of three major phases i.e, takeoff/climb, cruise and descent/landing. All the three phases require differernt PRESSURIZATION SEQUENCES to be maintained inside the cabin to maintain the atmospheric pressure conditions that are almost indentical to that of the sea level, normally 14.7 Psi (however the pressure inside the cabin is slightly lower thatn this value). This "Sharp Pain" in the forehead is associated with these pressurization sequences. The pressurization sequence starts as soon as the aircraft starts running on the runway and the cabin pressure is actually increased (as if the aircraft is diving down below the sea level !!!!). This increase in cabin pressure is necessary to counter the effect of reduced atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes. As a result of this PRE-PRESSURIZATION, a sort of pain is felt in the forehead while the aircraft is still on the ground during takeoff phase !!!! Similar sort of experince is witnessed during the descent phase when the ears start aching because of the increase in cabin pressure as the altitude decreases.

In this answer I have assumed that the reader is aware of the concept of CABIN PRESSURIZATION of an aircraft. If this concept isn't clear I would be more than happy to explain it in order to better understand why PRESSURIZATION is necessary which ultimately has to do a lot with the Sharp Pain phenomenon !!!!!!

What can cause sharp intense pain in the forehead which only lasts a few seconds?

A sharp, stabbing pain that occurs as a single or short series of stabs can be what is called an ice pick headache. These are often called a Primary Stabbing Headache. They are most common in people who have cluster or migraine headaches, and are very common in women. Treatment can be difficult due to the short duration of pain. Using an ice pack can help a headache, as well as over the counter pain relievers. If the become a big problem your doctor can prescribe various medications to try. Unfortunately, not all medications work the same for all people. It is often a "try and see" approach.
