prednisone
Treatment for Cluster Headache
Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties that acts by binding to glucocorticoid receptors and inhibiting pro-inflammatory gene transcription. When used for Cluster Headache, it can rapidly reduce inflammation and modulate the trigeminal-autonomic pathways, potentially interrupting the acute cycle of headache attacks and providing short-term symptomatic relief.
