Treatment for Cluster Headache

Steam inhalation for Cluster Headache acts through local vasodilation and thermal stimulation of nasal and trigeminal nerve receptors, which can help modulate neurovascular pain pathways. The heat and moisture potentially reduce mucosal inflammation and trigger a counter-irritant effect that may interrupt the neurogenic inflammatory cascade associated with Cluster Headache attacks.
