Treatment for Cluster Headache
Alcohol, when used for Cluster Headache treatment, acts as a rapid vasodilator that can temporarily interrupt the trigeminal-autonomic reflex and reduce vascular constriction. Its immediate effect involves rapid absorption through the gastrointestinal tract and swift distribution across the blood-brain barrier, leading to a quick but short-lived reduction in headache intensity through central nervous system modulation of pain perception and vascular tone.
