Treatment for Cluster Headache
Continuous birth control, typically using combined hormonal contraceptives, can modulate neurohormonal pathways and potentially reduce the frequency and intensity of Cluster Headache episodes by stabilizing hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis fluctuations. The mechanism involves suppressing ovarian cycling and maintaining consistent estrogen and progestogen levels, which may interrupt neurogenic inflammatory processes and neurovascular triggers associated with Cluster Headache pathogenesis.
