Treatment for Cluster Headache
Ginger exhibits potential therapeutic effects for cluster headaches through its potent anti-inflammatory properties mediated by gingerols and shogaols, which inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase pathways. These compounds reduce prostaglandin synthesis and modulate inflammatory mediators, potentially alleviating neurogenic inflammation and pain associated with cluster headaches. Additionally, ginger demonstrates vasodilatory and antiplatelet effects that may contribute to its migraine and headache-ameliorating potential.
