Treatment for Cluster Headache
Contraceptives, when used for Cluster Headache treatment, typically involve hormonal mechanisms that modulate neurotransmitter and endocrine pathways to potentially reduce headache frequency and intensity. By altering hormonal fluctuations and providing a more stable neurochemical environment, these medications may help mitigate the inflammatory and vascular changes associated with cluster headache pathogenesis. The primary effects include reducing neurogenic inflammation and stabilizing cerebrovascular reactivity.
