Treatment for Cluster Headache
Physical therapy for Cluster Headache primarily focuses on neuromuscular techniques that modulate pain perception and autonomic nervous system activity. By employing manual therapies, trigger point release, and targeted cervical and cranial manipulation, physical therapy can help reduce sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity and interrupt pain signaling pathways associated with trigeminal nerve sensitization. These interventions aim to decrease muscle tension, improve vascular regulation, and provide neurological desensitization that may mitigate the intensity and frequency of cluster headache episodes.
