Treatment for Cluster Headache

CGRP blockers, such as monoclonal antibodies targeting the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway, work by preventing CGRP from binding to its receptor, thereby reducing neurogenic inflammation and vasodilation associated with cluster headaches. These medications inhibit the release of pro-inflammatory neuropeptides, effectively reducing the frequency, intensity, and duration of cluster headache attacks by modulating pain signaling pathways in the trigeminal system.

Now that I’m on a cgrp preventative my severity and associated symptoms are way down, so I only rely on it being one-sided. Previously everything would sound too loud, and eventually I’d get nausea.
