Treatment for Cluster Headache

Qigong may alleviate cluster headache symptoms through its neuromodulatory effects on the autonomic nervous system, potentially reducing sympathetic hyperactivity and inflammation. The practice promotes parasympathetic activation, decreases cortisol levels, and enhances neuroplasticity, which can help modulate pain perception and reduce the frequency and intensity of cluster headache episodes.
