Treatment for Cluster Headache

Losartan, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, has shown potential in cluster headache management by blocking AT1 receptors and reducing neurogenic inflammation. By inhibiting angiotensin II's vasoconstrictive effects and modulating inflammatory pathways, losartan may help decrease the frequency and intensity of cluster headache episodes through its vascular and neurogenic mechanism of action.
