celecoxib
Treatment for Cluster Headache
Celecoxib is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor that reduces inflammatory prostaglandin synthesis by specifically targeting the COX-2 enzyme. In cluster headache treatment, it may help modulate neurogenic inflammation and provide analgesic effects, potentially mitigating pain and inflammatory processes associated with the condition. However, its primary role in cluster headache management is not as a first-line treatment, and its efficacy is less established compared to other interventions.

Thanks for replying! I'm so sorry you experience these awful things. Everything but having no runny nose says CH to me. I sometimes feel nauseous too but it's hard to know if that's from me being so distressed during an attack I want to throw up. '...View more
