progestin
Treatment for Cluster Headache
Progestins are synthetic derivatives of progesterone that can modulate neurotransmitter systems and potentially reduce neurogenic inflammation in cluster headache pathogenesis. By binding to progesterone receptors and influencing hypothalamic and trigeminal nerve activity, progestins may help interrupt the neurological mechanisms underlying cluster headache episodes and provide symptomatic relief.
