Treatment for Cluster Headache

CGRP inhibitors for Cluster Headache function by blocking the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, which plays a critical role in pain transmission and neurovascular inflammation. By antagonizing CGRP signaling, these medications reduce neurogenic inflammation and interrupt the pathological pain cascade associated with cluster headache, thereby decreasing headache frequency and intensity.
