Treatment for Cluster Headache

A bite guard for cluster headache acts as a neuromuscular intervention that reduces masticatory muscle tension and potentially modulates trigeminal nerve stimulation. By providing a protective occlusal surface and redistributing jaw muscle forces, it may help alleviate muscular trigger points and reduce nociceptive input to the trigeminal system, potentially mitigating headache intensity and frequency.

Get a bite guard for when you sleep. It's been a lifesaver for me. Start with a cheap bite-and-boil from Amazon or something. If it works, shell out the 500 bucks for a custom one from a dentist - trust me, it's worth the money.
