light filtering

Treatment for Cluster Headache

Light filtering, typically using narrow-band blue light blocking glasses or specialized lenses, modulates photosensitive neural pathways by reducing retinal stimulation and subsequent trigeminovascular activation. This intervention helps mitigate cluster headache triggers by potentially decreasing hypothalamic and trigeminal nerve excitability, thereby potentially reducing headache frequency and intensity.

March next year is ridiculous. NHS waiting times unless you’re in acute risk of death are a joke. I know this may say morally questionable but if you can stress to your GP about how these attacks are making you suicidal (even if they aren’t) there’s ...View more
