Treatment for Cluster Headache
Cold therapy in Cluster Headache primarily works by inducing vasoconstriction of cerebral blood vessels and stimulating cold receptors, which can interrupt the trigeminovascular pain pathway. The application of cold stimuli reduces local blood flow, decreases inflammatory mediators, and potentially modulates neural pain signaling, providing rapid symptomatic relief by reducing pain intensity and duration during acute cluster headache episodes.
