Sub-dermal electro-stimulation.

There are a number of devices being studied, both non-invasive and invasive (with surgery). Nothing is absolutely successful so far and the neuro-stimulator is very expensive because insurance companies do not yet cover it. Apparently it has to do with the vagus nerve and stopping the pain at onset. There are also surgeons cutting nerves to stop the pain but this is not only very dramatic and invasive but oftimes the nerve regenerates.

Medical professionals rely on relieving your pain, because there is no cure. A variety of drugs is available for pain relief. Steroids can sometimes offer immediate relief, but fail in long-term relief. Opioids are known to worsen the pain. Surgery is controversial as it increased the headaches in a few people.

Oxygen therapy is helpful for many people. Therapies like biofeedback, stress management, and relaxation techniques can be effective. TENS treatment is currently being studied.

The fact that my neurologist is researching sleep position and apnea and it's association with cluster headaches can be promising. There are no approved prevent medications and I have yet to find one.
