Treatment for Cluster Headache

Extracranial shockwave therapy for cluster headache targets trigeminal nerve desensitization and neurogenic inflammation modulation through mechanical wave energy transmission. The high-energy acoustic waves are believed to induce microtrauma and neuroplastic changes in peripheral nerve fibers, potentially disrupting pain signal transmission and reducing neurogenic inflammatory responses associated with cluster headache pathogenesis.
