Cluster Headache – Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

Corticosteroids

Another treatment option for cluster headaches is corticosteroids. This is especially effective when you are suffering from brief attacks combined with long remission periods. Those inflammation-suppression medications will help reduce the intensity and frequency of the pain caused by a cluster headache. However, keep in mind that they tend to have many serious side effects if taken excessively. Therefore, this might be an ideal treatment option for your condition in the long run. It is better to discuss these problems with your healthcare provider in advance to ensure safety and effectiveness. [12]
