Treatment for Cluster Headache
Alcohol avoidance in Cluster Headache management is recommended due to its potential to trigger or exacerbate headache episodes by causing vasodilation and increasing neurogenic inflammation. The mechanism involves alcohol's ability to lower the pain threshold and stimulate trigeminal nerve activation, which can precipitate or intensify the characteristic severe unilateral head pain associated with Cluster Headaches.
