Treatment for Cluster Headache

Melatonin supplementation and strategic sleep schedule modification can help manage cluster headache by influencing circadian rhythms and potentially reducing the frequency and intensity of headache episodes. The intervention targets the hypothalamic regulation of sleep-wake cycles and melatonin secretion, which are believed to be dysregulated in cluster headache patients, potentially resetting neurological patterns that contribute to headache onset.
