Treatment for Cluster Headache

Pet therapy for Cluster Headache leverages the neurological and endocrinological benefits of human-animal interaction, primarily through reducing stress-induced neuroinflammation and modulating autonomic nervous system activity. The interaction stimulates oxytocin and endorphin release, which can decrease sympathetic nervous system activation and potentially mitigate the trigeminal-autonomic dysregulation characteristic of Cluster Headaches.
