Treatment for Cluster Headache

Cycling (oxygen therapy) for cluster headache involves inhalation of high-flow 100% oxygen at 12-15 liters per minute through a non-rebreather mask, which induces cerebral vasoconstriction and reduces intracranial blood flow. This rapid intervention acts by stimulating the trigeminal-autonomic reflex and modulating neurovascular inflammation, typically providing significant pain relief within 15 minutes for many patients with acute cluster headache attacks.

I walk my dog or I do an exercise bike I bought for my house. I think since my head can stay mostly still on the bike it’s not as bad. I do have to have fans on me though because if I get too hot it causes head pain.
