Cluster headaches are one of the most severe forms of headaches, occurring in cyclic patterns lasting for weeks or months. They are more common in individuals aged 20 to 50, especially smokers. After each bout, there is a long remission period without headaches. While not lifethreatening, cluster headaches significantly impact the individual’s quality of life.
Cluster headaches are classified into the following different types:
Episodic Cluster Headaches:
Chronic Cluster Headaches:
Cluster headaches symptoms can be mistaken for regular headaches or migraines.
Other associated symptoms include:
Cluster headaches occur due to the dilation of blood vessels supplying oxygenated blood to the face and brain. This puts strain on the trigeminal nerve, responsible for transmitting signals from the face to the brain. The exact cause of the dilation is unknown but may be linked to hypothalamus abnormalities. Additionally, the sudden secretion of chemicals like serotonin and histamine is also believed to contribute to cluster headaches.
Cluster headaches do not have a specific diagnostic test. Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive physical and neurological examination to assess symptoms. Doctors may use brain imaging, such as MRI or CT scans, to rule out other conditions with similar symptoms.
