Treatment for Cluster Headache

Domperidone is a peripheral dopamine D2 receptor antagonist that acts as an antiemetic and prokinetic agent, with potential benefits in cluster headache management. By blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone and gastrointestinal tract, it may help modulate neural pathways and potentially reduce the frequency and intensity of cluster headache episodes, though its precise mechanism in headache treatment is not fully elucidated.

Hi, I am on domperidone, which is an anti emetic drug. But it's unfortunately not able to even touch the nausea that flying brings to me. I'll probably try to alter my existing dosages after talking to my neurologist.
