Treatment for Cluster Headache

Erenumab is a monoclonal antibody that selectively targets the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, blocking CGRP's neurogenic inflammatory actions. By inhibiting CGRP signaling, it reduces neurogenic inflammation and pain transmission, potentially decreasing the frequency and severity of cluster headache episodes. While primarily studied and approved for migraine prevention, emerging research suggests it may have therapeutic potential in cluster headache management.

You've been on it for a couple years. Are you chronic? Also which dose? Were you given the 300mg cluster dose? If you are episodic you go off once your cycle ends. It's not studied well in chronics (it didn't get FDA approval). You might be able to s...View more
