transcranial magnetic stimulation
Treatment for Cluster Headache
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for cluster headache involves applying repetitive magnetic pulses to specific brain regions, particularly the motor cortex, to modulate neuronal excitability and disrupt pain processing pathways. The stimulation is thought to induce neuroplastic changes that can reduce neurogenic inflammation and alter pain perception by affecting cortical and subcortical pain networks. By delivering precise, non-invasive electromagnetic stimulation, TMS can potentially interrupt the pathological neural circuits associated with cluster headache and provide therapeutic pain relief.
