Treatment for Cluster Headache

Yaz (drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol) is not a primary treatment for Cluster Headache, and its use in this context is off-label. While some hormonal contraceptives may indirectly influence headache patterns, Yaz does not have a specific mechanism targeting cluster headache pathophysiology or providing direct therapeutic benefit for this neurological condition.
