Treatment for Cluster Headache

Altitude therapy for Cluster Headache involves exposure to hypoxic conditions, which modulates cerebral blood flow and neurogenic inflammation through stimulation of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). The reduced oxygen tension triggers neurological and vascular adaptations that can potentially interrupt the trigeminal-autonomic pathways responsible for cluster headache pathogenesis, thereby reducing headache frequency and intensity.
