Treatment for Cluster Headache

Valproic acid, a mood stabilizer, can be used to manage Cluster Headache by modulating neuronal excitability through enhanced GABA neurotransmission and inhibition of voltage-gated sodium channels. Its mechanism reduces neurogenic inflammation and stabilizes neuronal membranes, thereby potentially decreasing the frequency and intensity of cluster headache episodes.
