Treatment for Cluster Headache

Antihistamines have limited direct efficacy in treating Cluster Headache due to the condition's pathophysiology. While they may provide minimal symptomatic relief by potentially reducing inflammatory mediators and promoting sedation, they are not considered a primary or recommended treatment for Cluster Headache management.
