Treatment for Cluster Headache

Oxygen therapy via face mask acts as an acute treatment for cluster headaches by causing cerebral vasoconstriction and reducing arterial blood flow, which helps alleviate the intense pain associated with these episodes. High-flow oxygen (typically 100% at 7-10 L/min) is believed to trigger a rapid sympathetic response that counteracts the neurovascular inflammation characteristic of cluster headaches.
