Treatment for Cluster Headache

Sinus surgery for Cluster Headache involves targeting the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG), a neural structure associated with trigeminal nerve pain transmission. The procedure disrupts neural pathways and reduces sympathetic nerve signaling, potentially alleviating the intense, unilateral pain characteristic of cluster headaches by interrupting pathological neurogenic inflammation and pain signal propagation.

Yeah, I went chronic for a while as well. I had endoscopic sinus surgery at the end of the chronic period of 2.5 years. This made them completely go away for about 2 years. It was amazing. But, maybe because I got lax about keeping my sinuses super...View more
