Treatment for Cluster Headache

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) acts as a non-selective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor, suppressing prostaglandin synthesis and reducing inflammation and pain in cluster headaches. Its antiplatelet properties and ability to modulate inflammatory pathways may help mitigate the intense vascular and neurogenic components of cluster headache pathophysiology. As an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent, aspirin can provide symptomatic relief, though it is not considered a primary treatment for acute cluster headache management.

I'm sorry you're going through this, dude. The best I can recommend is keeping up with the D3 regimen and possibly increasing the amount of D3 you're taking while in cycle (not sure what the max is, but I do 40,000). Also, I recommend eating cleaner,...View more
