Treatment for Cluster Headache

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for Cluster Headache involves psychological intervention targeting cognitive and emotional processes related to pain perception and coping. The therapy modulates neural pathways by promoting psychological flexibility, reducing pain-related anxiety, and enhancing cognitive reappraisal mechanisms, which can decrease sympathetic nervous system activation and potentially reduce headache frequency and intensity.
