Treatment for Cluster Headache

Botulinum toxin (Botox) for Cluster Headache works by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides at synaptic junctions, potentially reducing pain signal transmission and neurogenic inflammation. By blocking acetylcholine release and modulating calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathways, Botox can decrease the frequency and intensity of cluster headache episodes and provide prophylactic pain management.
