Treatment for Cluster Headache
Piercing for Cluster Headache involves the surgical placement of a daith piercing through the innermost cartilage fold of the ear, which is hypothesized to stimulate the vagus nerve and potentially modulate pain signaling. While the precise mechanism is not fully elucidated, the piercing may act similarly to vagus nerve stimulation techniques, potentially reducing the frequency and intensity of cluster headache episodes through neurological pathway modulation.
