Treatment for Cluster Headache
Bupivacaine is a long-acting local anesthetic that blocks voltage-gated sodium channels, preventing nerve signal transmission and pain perception. When used for Cluster Headache, it can be administered via nerve block to provide targeted pain relief by interrupting neural signaling in the trigeminal and occipital nerve regions. Its sustained action helps reduce pain intensity and duration in acute cluster headache episodes.
