Treatment for Cluster Headache
Hormone therapy for Cluster Headache typically involves corticosteroids like prednisone, which act by suppressing inflammatory pathways and modulating immune responses. These medications reduce neurogenic inflammation and provide rapid pain relief by decreasing prostaglandin production and inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby interrupting the neurological mechanisms that trigger cluster headache episodes.
