Treatment for Cluster Headache

Caffeine avoidance in Cluster Headache management is recommended due to its potential vasoconstrictive and neurostimulatory effects that may trigger or exacerbate headache episodes. As an adenosine receptor antagonist, caffeine can alter cerebral blood flow and neuronal excitability, potentially disrupting the delicate neurological balance associated with Cluster Headache pathophysiology.

Nah, I can say for sure that caffeine is my trigger. If I don't drink it, I just don't get them. I'm actually happy that it's this easy, but since this disease is so personal, it might be completely different for other people.
