dry needling
Treatment for Cluster Headache
Dry needling for Cluster Headache involves inserting thin needles into specific trigger points and muscular regions to modulate pain transmission and neurological responses. The technique is believed to stimulate local and central pain inhibitory mechanisms, reduce muscular tension, and potentially interrupt aberrant neural signaling associated with trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias by inducing local tissue microtrauma and neurochemical cascades that promote healing and pain modulation.
