Treatment for Cluster Headache
Distraction therapy for Cluster Headache involves stimulating the trigeminal nerve through intense sensory input, such as breathing cold air or applying localized cold or pressure stimuli. This neurological intervention is believed to modulate pain perception by activating alternative neural pathways and potentially interrupting the pathological pain signaling associated with cluster headache attacks. The technique exploits neuroplasticity and sensory gating mechanisms to provide rapid symptomatic relief by redirecting neural focus and potentially reducing pain transmission.
