Treatment for Cluster Headache

Sensory therapy for Cluster Headache involves targeted stimulation of trigeminal nerve pathways using techniques like transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) or non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation. These interventions modulate neuronal excitability and neurotransmitter release, potentially interrupting pain signal transmission and reducing the frequency and intensity of cluster headache episodes by altering central pain processing mechanisms.
