Treatment for Cluster Headache
Lumbar puncture in cluster headache involves cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage, which is hypothesized to reduce intracranial pressure and potentially modulate neurogenic inflammatory processes. The procedure may temporarily alter CSF dynamics and neurotransmitter balance, potentially interrupting the neurological mechanisms underlying cluster headache pathogenesis and providing short-term symptomatic relief.
