atenolol

Treatment for Cluster Headache

Atenolol is a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker that may help reduce the frequency and severity of cluster headaches by modulating sympathetic nervous system activity and decreasing neural excitability. By blocking beta-1 receptors, it reduces heart rate and blood pressure, which can potentially interrupt the neurological mechanisms contributing to cluster headache pathogenesis.
