Treatment for Cluster Headache

Comfort measures for Cluster Headache typically involve oxygen therapy and triptans, which work by causing vasoconstriction and reducing neurogenic inflammation. Subcutaneous sumatriptan and high-flow oxygen (12-15 L/min) activate 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonists and provide rapid symptomatic relief by constricting cerebral blood vessels and interrupting the trigeminal-autonomic reflex pathways responsible for the intense pain.
