hydroxyzine

Treatment for Cluster Headache

Hydroxyzine is a first-generation antihistamine with H1 receptor antagonist properties that may provide relief in cluster headache by reducing neurogenic inflammation and modulating serotonergic pathways. Its sedative and anxiolytic effects can potentially help manage the sympathetic nervous system activation associated with cluster headache episodes, though it is not a primary treatment for this condition.
