Treatment for Cluster Headache

Calcium channel blockers, such as verapamil, inhibit voltage-dependent L-type calcium channels, reducing neuronal excitability and calcium influx in cerebral blood vessels. By modulating calcium-mediated neurotransmission and vascular tone, these medications can help prevent and reduce the frequency and intensity of cluster headache attacks, particularly in chronic cluster headache management.
