Treatment for Cluster Headache

Carbonated beverages, particularly those containing caffeine, can provide rapid relief for cluster headaches through vasoconstriction and central nervous system stimulation. The combination of caffeine's vasoconstrictive properties and carbonation's rapid absorption can help counteract the vasodilation associated with cluster headache pathophysiology, potentially interrupting the acute pain response.

It’s Dr. Pepper for me! Usually combined with a Naproxen if the Dr. Pepper doesn’t take care of it alone.
