Cluster Headache: Hastening Diagnosis and Treatment

Author and Disclosure Information

 

References

Treatment is aimed at aborting the pain within 15 to 30 minutes of an acute headache attack and preventing further episodes through transitional and maintenance prophylaxis. Newer invasive options that are showing great promise may be considered for a select patient population. Clinicians should involve patients in treatment decisions that will address their individual needs, improving function and optimizing outcomes.
