Treatment for Cluster Headache
Movement therapy for Cluster Headache involves carefully structured physical activity and neurological stimulation to modulate pain perception and autonomic nervous system responses. The primary mechanism involves activation of descending pain inhibitory pathways, increased endorphin release, and potential regulation of hypothalamic activity, which is implicated in cluster headache pathogenesis. By promoting neuroplasticity and reducing sympathetic nervous system activation, movement therapy can help mitigate headache frequency and intensity.

Yeah, there is no constant when it comes to temperatures, some of us like hot, others cold. But even though I gravitate to hot, I will sometimes press a bag of frozen peas at the back of my skull or my temple for some relief. And yeah, the movement...View more
