Treatment for Cluster Headache
Tens (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) for cluster headache works by delivering low-voltage electrical currents that modulate pain perception through neural pathways, potentially inhibiting pain signal transmission and stimulating endogenous opioid release. The electrical stimulation is believed to activate descending pain inhibitory mechanisms and reduce trigeminal nerve hyperactivity, which can provide symptomatic relief during cluster headache episodes.
