Treatment for Cluster Headache

Magnesium supplements act as a potential prophylactic treatment for cluster headaches by modulating neuronal calcium influx and stabilizing neuronal membranes, which may reduce neurogenic inflammation and cortical spreading depression. The mineral functions as a calcium channel blocker and NMDA receptor antagonist, potentially reducing the frequency and intensity of cluster headache episodes through its neurological and vascular regulatory effects.
