Treatment for Cluster Headache

Abortive medications for Cluster Headache, such as subcutaneous sumatriptan and inhaled oxygen, act rapidly to terminate an acute headache attack by targeting serotonin 5-HT1B/1D receptors and causing vasoconstriction, respectively. These treatments aim to quickly reduce pain intensity, shorten headache duration, and provide immediate symptomatic relief during a cluster headache episode.
