Treatment for Cluster Headache

Walking during a cluster headache episode can stimulate the autonomic nervous system and potentially activate descending pain modulatory pathways, which may help interrupt the sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity associated with cluster headache attacks. Physical activity induces endogenous opioid release and increases cerebral blood flow, potentially providing temporary pain mitigation and neurological rebalancing through sympathetic nervous system modulation.

I found slow walks outside on cold days helps a ton. Same deal as you keeping the heart rate down but just a little active.
