Treatment for Cluster Headache

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid precursor to serotonin, which may help modulate pain perception and neurotransmitter balance in cluster headache patients. By potentially increasing serotonin levels, tryptophan can help reduce the frequency and intensity of cluster headache episodes through its neurological regulatory effects on pain pathways and inflammatory responses.
