Treatment for Cluster Headache

Lithium acts as a mood stabilizer and preventive treatment for cluster headaches by modulating neurotransmitter systems, particularly serotonergic and dopaminergic pathways, and potentially reducing neurogenic inflammation. It helps decrease the frequency and intensity of cluster headache attacks by stabilizing neuronal excitability and potentially interrupting the hypothalamic dysregulation associated with these severe headaches.
