Treatment for Cluster Headache

Sauna exposure induces peripheral vasodilation and activates heat shock proteins, potentially modulating neurogenic inflammation and pain perception in cluster headache. The intense heat stimulates sympathetic nervous system responses and may interrupt the hypothalamic-driven autonomic dysregulation associated with cluster headache pathogenesis. This thermal intervention can provide rapid symptomatic relief by promoting neurological reset and reducing vascular constriction.
