lacosamide
Treatment for Cluster Headache
Lacosamide is an antiepileptic drug that modulates voltage-gated sodium channel function, stabilizing neuronal membranes and reducing excessive neuronal firing. In cluster headache treatment, it is believed to reduce neurogenic inflammation and neuronal hyperexcitability, potentially interrupting the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these severe headaches. Its mechanism of action suggests potential efficacy in preventing and reducing the frequency and intensity of cluster headache episodes.
