Treatment for Cluster Headache

Sumatriptan, a selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist, rapidly constricts cranial blood vessels and inhibits pro-inflammatory neuropeptide release in the trigeminal system. When administered subcutaneously or intranasally, it provides quick abortive relief by reducing neural inflammation and vascular dilation associated with cluster headache pathophysiology.
