Treatment for Cluster Headache
Physical stimulation, such as transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) or hypothalamic deep brain stimulation, modulates neural activity by targeting specific pathways involved in pain perception and autonomic nervous system regulation. These interventions can reduce the frequency and intensity of cluster headaches by altering neurotransmitter release, modifying neuronal excitability, and interrupting pain signaling circuits within the trigeminal-autonomic network.
