Treatment for Cluster Headache
Dietary modifications for Cluster Headache primarily focus on reducing inflammatory triggers and managing potential neurological disruptions through elimination of specific foods like alcohol, caffeine, and processed nitrate-containing products. The proposed mechanism involves reducing neurogenic inflammation, stabilizing hypothalamic-trigeminal network function, and potentially mitigating neurovascular sensitization that contributes to headache pathogenesis. These interventions aim to decrease the frequency and intensity of cluster headache episodes by modulating neurochemical and inflammatory pathways.

Quite the opposite. If I can eat enough carbs before the attack hits it seems to help. Carb restriction makes them worse (which goes badly with the lack of appetite and vomiting) The clusters also burn through energy, so even eating normal amounts ...View more
