Treatment for Cluster Headache

Darkness acts as a non-pharmacological intervention for cluster headaches by reducing sensory stimulation and potentially modulating the hypothalamic-autonomic dysregulation associated with these headaches. By minimizing visual and light-induced neural inputs, darkness can help interrupt the neurogenic inflammatory cascade and provide symptomatic relief through decreased sensory processing and potential melatonin secretion regulation.
