What are the best treatments for Cluster Headaches?

See the best treatments for Cluster Headaches here

I have found that Neurostimulation has been the best course of treatment for me. It has given me my life back. Is it perfect no, I still have attacks but I will take the 90-95 percent improvement. Sumatriptan injections are the best abortive I have found for myself.

Oxygen 15 minutes
Imitrex 6 mg
PRF

For the most rapid result I find Maxalt to be the best. Naramig and Zomig are good if you address the shadows early enough and the cluster doesn't come on too quickly. Lirica at night may also help.
In the meantime Advil, black coffee and energy drinks help as a preventative.

I find the sumitriptan injections work really well

Posted Apr 26, 2017 by Scott Wright 401

Currently i find the best treatment for clusters are varapamil, oxygen and sumtriptan injections.

Sumatriptan injections are a god send. Unfortunately I'm only allowed two per day which is of little comfort when you can suffer upto 10 allowed tacks per day. High flow O2 helps but it does take a while to work and it's not always effective. I take ceramic 20th per day during cycle also

Oxygen. Sumatriptan. Corticoids. Verapamil.

Oxygen at 15 litters

Sumatriptan is very effective. Unfortunately after years of use it has ravsged my heart. Ice on my face the second i k now the pain is coming.

Have not found a good one if something helps the effect wear's off in 6 to 8 week's then right back where started

Posted Jun 11, 2017 by Jeff D 2000

oxygen at 15 litres per minute through a non rebreather mask for 15 minutes. Naramig can work well, but must be taken on a empty stomach at precisely the right time. Just as the pin prick feeling starts behind the eye. Still can't stop waking up with them so today i am going to find some mushrooms to bust the cluster. It's an extreme measure to take but I have to do something about it and it worked years ago

Oxygene with a high preasure Mask. If the attack dont breaks. Sumatriptan injekt. Or you use Ascotop Nasal. To stop a cicle you can use Cortison ( Prednisolon or Urbanisol) while you sweap in Verapamil. A second Helper vcan also be lithium or Toparimat.

It interely depends on the specific case/person.
Sumatriptans and steroids, mostly.

Posted Sep 14, 2017 by João Pedro Graça 500

Oxygen at least 15L per minute, Sumatriptan, and Vetapmil and Melatonin as prophylactic measures.

Imitrex has been effective, opioids have had no affect.

High flow oxygen works for some, nerve blocks work temporarily, and sumatriptan helps dull the pain. A variety of pharmaceuticals can help prevent attacks but they don't work for everyone and have awful side effects for many.

First-line acute treatments include high-flow oxygen and sumatriptan injections.

Primary preventives include verapamil, topiramate, divalproex sodium, and lithium.

oxygen

Imitrex injections

Lidocaine injections to the back of the neck

Posted Feb 1, 2018 by Danny 3050

Sumatriptan Nasal spray is the faster and most effective for me.
Oxygen helps although I dont usually have it at hand, only when I go to a hospital.

Posted Aug 29, 2018 by Nandarq 500

Triptanes, Oxygen

Posted Oct 20, 2018 by Michael Trapp 1600

sumatriptan injection to kill the pain
verapamil on a daily treatment during the cycle (under heart doctor supervision)
Oxygen

Posted Nov 7, 2018 by Oliver 3000

Oxygen 100% Immigran injectables Ketamine beta blockkers or neuro stimulator & al lot more to discover i hope
And it doesn't go away but just can lighten or shorten the attack.

Cortisone and oxygen

Oxygen is the most effective treatment for me. I have tried many different remedies and nothing works as well or as long-acting as high-flow oxygen, 12-15 lpm through a non-rebreather mask for at least 10 minutes. Then you can administer your back-up medications to get rid of the shadows, which for me is Advil and coffee, a 1/2 teaspoon of salt mixed in a cup of water to help with the dizziness, and then I'm feeling normal again.

High-flow Oxygen, Sumatriptan, Aimovig

Posted Aug 22, 2019 by Judy 1600

High flow Oxygen using a non-rebreather mask is by far the best abortive.

Second best abortive is Sumatriptan. Either injection or nasal inhaler.

I have had good results with cannabinoids combined with meditation and exercise.

Sumatriptan injections

Posted Jul 27, 2020 by Stephanie 4650

Prednisone tapers during cluster xyxle help with the severity. The best abortive I have found is sumatriptan 6mg injections.

Posted Aug 3, 2021 by Hali 900

25 mg sumitryptan (imitrex) nasal spray reduces a 2-3 hour headache to 15-20 minutes. Works 90% of the time for me.
