corticosteroid injection
Treatment for Cluster Headache
Corticosteroid injections for Cluster Headache work by reducing inflammatory processes and suppressing immune system activity through binding to glucocorticoid receptors. They modulate the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inhibit neutrophil migration, potentially interrupting the neurogenic inflammation associated with cluster headache pathogenesis. The primary therapeutic effects include rapid reduction of inflammation, pain modulation, and temporary disruption of the inflammatory cascade.
