Treatment for Cluster Headache

Tapentadol is a centrally-acting analgesic with dual mechanisms of action, combining μ-opioid receptor agonism and norepinephrine reuptake inhibition. In cluster headache treatment, it provides potent pain relief by modulating descending pain pathways and reducing neurogenic inflammation, potentially offering more comprehensive pain management compared to traditional opioid analgesics.
