low impact exercise
Treatment for Cluster Headache
Low impact exercise modulates neurotransmitter activity and increases endogenous endorphin production, which can help reduce cluster headache frequency and intensity by attenuating pain perception and neurogenic inflammation. The exercise-induced neuroplastic changes and autonomic nervous system regulation may interrupt the hypothalamic-trigeminal pathway dysregulation characteristic of cluster headaches, potentially providing prophylactic benefits through neuromodulation.
