Treatment for Cluster Headache
Surgical interventions for Cluster Headache typically involve neurostimulation or ablative procedures targeting specific neural pathways, particularly the hypothalamic region and trigeminal nerve circuits. The primary mechanisms include modulating aberrant neuronal activity, interrupting pain signal transmission, and reducing inflammatory neurogenic responses associated with the sympathetic nervous system. These procedures aim to disrupt the pathological pain mechanisms underlying the severe, episodic pain characteristic of Cluster Headache.

I suggest if you can receiving a cat scan to see for slipped disc or bulged disc in neck. Our "rocking in pain" banging head" can unwittingly can do a really great number to ourselves. I had to have a double cervical fusion and sleeping often set of...View more
