Treatment for Cluster Headache
Comfort therapy for Cluster Headache typically involves oxygen inhalation at high flow rates (12-15 L/min), which induces rapid vasoconstriction and reduces cerebral blood flow through its direct vasoconstrictive effects. The high-concentration oxygen acts quickly to abort acute cluster headache attacks by decreasing inflammatory mediators and reducing neural sensitization in the trigeminal-autonomic pathway.
