Cluster headaches are a severe form of headache,
often described as the most painful. They occur in cyclical patterns or
clusters, typically around the same time each day. A single cluster period can
last from weeks to months, followed by remission periods where the headaches
stop entirely. These headaches usually appear suddenly, often without warning,
and primarily affect one side of the head, usually around or behind one eye.
Symptoms include intense pain, redness and tearing in the affected eye, nasal
congestion, and sometimes facial sweating. Each headache can last from 15
minutes to 3 hours, and they can occur several times a day. The exact cause is
unknown, but it’s believed to involve abnormalities in the hypothalamus, the
part of the brain regulating biological rhythms. Treatments focus on managing
pain and preventing attacks, including medications, oxygen therapy, and
lifestyle adjustments.
