Treatment for Cluster Headache

Ear piercing for Cluster Headache involves stimulating the vagus nerve through the tragus or daith region, potentially modulating neuroinflammatory pathways and neurotransmitter release. The intervention is hypothesized to interrupt pain signaling and reduce the frequency and intensity of cluster headache episodes through neuromodulatory mechanisms, though the precise neurophysiological pathway remains incompletely understood.
