Treatment for Cluster Headache

Epidural administration for Cluster Headache involves local anesthetic blockade of sympathetic nerve pathways, which interrupts pain signal transmission and modulates autonomic nervous system activity. This intervention can provide temporary relief by reducing inflammation, decreasing neural hyperexcitability, and potentially disrupting the trigeminal-autonomic reflex mechanism associated with cluster headache pathogenesis.
