tonsillectomy

Treatment for Cluster Headache

Tonsillectomy as a treatment for Cluster Headache involves surgical removal of the palatine tonsils, which may modulate the trigeminal-autonomic reflex and reduce inflammatory responses associated with the condition. The procedure is thought to potentially interrupt neurogenic inflammation and alter neural signaling pathways that contribute to the pathogenesis of cluster headaches, though the exact mechanism is not fully understood.
