Treatment for Cluster Headache

Sumatriptan injection is a selective serotonin 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist that acts on cranial blood vessels and sensory nerve endings to constrict cerebral vasculature and inhibit neuropeptide release. By targeting these receptors, it rapidly reduces inflammation and alleviates pain associated with cluster headaches, providing quick symptomatic relief through neurovascular modulation.

I tried Verapamil and Topiramate, but they didn’t work for me either. After that, I was put on the injections. I also take Sumatriptan and Zolmitriptan for the pain during attacks. That’s pretty much it.
