Treatment for Cluster Headache
Nerve blocks for Cluster Headache involve the local anesthetic (typically lidocaine) interrupting neural transmission by blocking sodium channels in peripheral sensory nerves, thereby reducing pain signal propagation. The block targets specific nerve regions such as the sphenopalatine ganglion or greater occipital nerve, effectively disrupting the trigeminal-autonomic pathway associated with cluster headache pathogenesis and providing rapid symptomatic relief.
