Treatment for Cluster Headache

Topical medications for Cluster Headache typically include lidocaine nasal sprays, which act as local anesthetics by blocking sodium channels in nerve membranes, thereby interrupting pain signal transmission. These agents provide rapid, localized pain relief by temporarily desensitizing nerve endings and reducing neurogenic inflammation in the trigeminal region.
