Treatment for Cluster Headache

Advil (ibuprofen), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis and thereby decreasing inflammation and pain. In cluster headaches, it provides symptomatic relief by mitigating neurogenic inflammation and modulating pain signaling pathways, though its efficacy is generally limited compared to other treatment modalities.
