Treatment for Cluster Headache
Pregnancy (sumatriptan) is a selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist that causes vasoconstriction of intracranial blood vessels and inhibits neuropeptide release, effectively interrupting the neurogenic inflammation associated with cluster headaches. By binding to these serotonin receptors, it rapidly reduces pain, alleviates autonomic symptoms, and provides acute relief during cluster headache episodes.
