Treatment for Cluster Headache

CGRP inhibitors are monoclonal antibodies that block the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor or ligand, preventing CGRP-mediated vasodilation and neurogenic inflammation associated with cluster headaches. By interrupting this neuropeptide's signaling pathway, these medications reduce the frequency and severity of cluster headache attacks, offering a targeted therapeutic approach to managing this severe neurological condition.

This case study profiles long‐suffering cluster‐headache patients—exemplified by Bob Wold—who, after decades of failed conventional therapies, found significant relief using periodic low doses of psilocybin, with support from the Clusterbusters advocacy group and emerging clinical research. It also discusses new FDA-approved monoclonal antibody treatment (Emgality) and high-flow oxygen therapy.

That’s all very informative! I do believe age is related. My aunt is the only other person in my entire family who gets migraines and she got a lot of them. She’s in her mid 60s now and is starting to get them less often. So, only 30 years to go! Yay...View more

I've been diagnosed as having both. They are usually on the same side for me, but there are some reasons to think they are distinct -- timing, quality and intensity of pain, other symptoms. I haven't ever found anything that works fast enough to sto...View more
