Treatment for Cluster Headache

Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) contains bioactive compounds like phenolic acids and flavonoids that may modulate inflammatory pathways and neurotransmitter systems relevant to cluster headache. Its potential therapeutic effects are believed to involve reducing neurogenic inflammation, inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines, and potentially modulating CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) signaling, which could help mitigate the intense pain associated with cluster headaches.
