Treatment Options for Cluster Headaches
Drug Therapy
Botulinum toxin A has been widely studied for the treatment of various types of headache and chronic pain, including cluster headache. Most of the studies were not controlled studies, meaning that there was no control group for comparison, but reports of pain relief for some patients are encouraging. The mechanism of relief is not well understood. Current information suggests that botulinum toxin A is safe to use. Further multicenter, randomized and controlled studies are needed.
