Treatment for Cluster Headache

Berberine is an alkaloid with potential neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties that may modulate neuronal signaling pathways involved in cluster headache pathogenesis. Its mechanism of action likely involves inhibition of inflammatory mediators, reduction of oxidative stress, and potential modulation of NMDA receptor activity, which could contribute to pain reduction and neurological symptom management in cluster headache patients.
