Treatment for Cluster Headache

Caffeine acts as an adenosine receptor antagonist, blocking adenosine's vasodilatory effects and promoting vasoconstriction in cerebral blood vessels. In cluster headache management, it can help reduce pain by counteracting vasodilation and potentially modulating pain perception through its central nervous system interactions. Its effectiveness is often enhanced when combined with other analgesics and may provide rapid symptomatic relief during acute cluster headache episodes.
