Treatment for Cluster Headache

Ketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, acts as a dissociative anesthetic that can rapidly modulate neuronal excitability and interrupt pain signaling pathways in cluster headache treatment. When administered in sub-anesthetic doses, it provides potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects by blocking glutamate-mediated neuronal transmission and reducing central sensitization. Its unique pharmacological profile allows for quick interruption of pain cycles and potential neuroplastic reset in cluster headache pathophysiology.

The throbbing vein is the cascade of symptoms traveling through your ear hole in your skull to the trigeminal nerve from which CGRP is dumped, causing a lot of vasodilation, hence the bulging artery/vein thing. You're probably getting trigeminal neu...View more
