Treatment for Cluster Headache

Neck traction for Cluster Headache involves mechanical stretching of cervical spine soft tissues and neurological pathways, which may modulate sympathetic nervous system activity and reduce trigeminovascular neuralgia. The intervention potentially decreases intracranial pressure and releases mechanical tension in cervical muscles, thereby interrupting pain signal transmission and providing temporary neurological modulation of autonomic dysfunction associated with cluster headache pathophysiology.
