Treatment for Cluster Headache

Verapamil, a calcium channel blocker, is used in cluster headache management by inhibiting calcium influx into cells, which reduces neuronal excitability and smooth muscle contractility. Its mechanism helps stabilize cerebral blood vessels and modulate inflammatory pathways, potentially decreasing the frequency and intensity of cluster headache episodes by altering neural signaling and vascular tone.
