Treatment for Cluster Headache

Nasal irrigation with lidocaine or capsaicin acts by desensitizing local trigeminal nerve pathways and modulating nociceptive signaling in the hypothalamic and autonomic regions associated with cluster headache. This intervention can rapidly interrupt pain transmission and reduce neurogenic inflammation, potentially providing acute symptomatic relief by disrupting the pathophysiological cascade of cluster headache episodes.
