Treatment for Cluster Headache

Stadol (butorphanol) is a mixed opioid agonist-antagonist that acts on mu and kappa opioid receptors, providing potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects for rapid cluster headache intervention. Its unique receptor profile allows for effective pain modulation with potentially reduced risk of respiratory depression compared to pure mu-receptor agonists, making it valuable in managing acute, severe cluster headache episodes.
