Treatment for Cluster Headache

Carbonated beverages, particularly those containing caffeine, can provide rapid relief for cluster headaches through vasoconstrictive and stimulant properties. The caffeine acts on adenosine receptors and promotes vasoconstriction, which can help interrupt the neurovascular inflammatory cascade associated with cluster headache pathophysiology, potentially reducing pain intensity and duration.

For some reason orange soda is a crotchety old man who will beat my migraines back with a walking stick. Absolutely unreal. Also, a semi-stale bagel with strawberry cream cheese, or a completely plain omelet.
