Cluster headache is a name given to an agonising form of migraine headaches (on one side of head) with autonomic eye swelling, watering and nasal congestion. It usually presents in bouts i.e clusters, and its frequency can be every few years but sometimes much more frequently. No great remedy is so far available.Recently article in JAMA suggested use of high-flow oxygen for about 15 mins as the treatment of choice.
Conclusion of article says 'Treatment of patients with cluster headache at symptom onset using inhaled high-flow oxygen compared with placebo was more likely to result in being pain-free at 15 minutes.'
