Whether through in-person care or global teleconsultation, Dr. Chugh develops evidence-based plans that reduce attack frequency and intensity, helping patients reclaim their quality of life.

    Are You Experiencing These Cluster Headache Symptoms?

    Cluster headaches differ from migraines and tension headaches. Recognizing the signs early can help you access timely treatment:

    • Sudden, severe one-sided head pain (often behind or around one eye)
    • Red or teary eyes on the affected side
    • Runny nose or nasal congestion
    • Drooping eyelid or swelling around the eye
    • Agitation or restlessness during the attack
    • Multiple attacks at the same time each day (cluster periods)

    If these symptoms sound familiar, you may be suffering from cluster headaches — and it’s time to see a specialist who understands how to treat them effectively.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Cluster Headache Treatment

    The exact cause of cluster headaches isn’t fully understood, but they’re believed to be linked to the hypothalamus — the part of the brain that controls your body clock. This explains why cluster headaches often follow a pattern, occurring at the same time each day or season.

    Other possible triggers include alcohol, strong smells, changes in sleep schedule, or heat. Unlike migraines, cluster headaches are not typically caused by stress or certain foods.

    They’re more common in men and often start between the ages of 20 and 40. A neurologist can help identify your specific triggers and design a treatment plan to reduce attacks.

    Cluster headaches can’t be completely cured, but they can be effectively managed with the right treatment. Neurologists aim to reduce the severity, frequency, and duration of attacks using fast-acting relief methods and long-term prevention strategies.

    Some people experience long periods without attacks (remission), while others may need ongoing care. With the right diagnosis and a personalized plan — including medications, oxygen therapy, and lifestyle changes — many patients gain control over their symptoms and significantly improve their quality of life.

    Early treatment from a neurologist can make a big difference in how well the condition is managed.

    Neurologists treat cluster headaches by first confirming the diagnosis through your symptoms and medical history. They may recommend brain imaging to rule out other causes. Once confirmed, treatment focuses on two goals: stopping current attacks and preventing future ones.

    For immediate relief, neurologists may use fast-acting therapies like oxygen therapy, triptan injections, or nasal sprays. To reduce the frequency and intensity of attacks, preventive medications such as verapamil, corticosteroids, or nerve-blocking procedures are often prescribed.

    In some cases, lifestyle changes and avoiding known triggers like alcohol or disrupted sleep can also help. For patients with chronic cluster headaches, advanced treatments like occipital nerve stimulation may be considered.

    Seeing a neurologist ensures you receive a personalized treatment plan that targets both the pain and the cause.

    Cluster headaches and migraines are both intense, but they’re very different in how they feel and how they affect you.

    Cluster headaches cause sharp, burning pain around one eye and come in repeated attacks — often at the same time each day for weeks. They’re shorter than migraines (usually 15 minutes to 3 hours) but much more frequent and severe. Cluster headaches may also cause red eyes, tearing, nasal congestion, and restlessness.

    Migraines, on the other hand, often involve throbbing pain on one side of the head, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and can last for hours or even days. People with migraines usually prefer lying down in a dark, quiet room, while those with cluster headaches may pace or feel agitated.

    A neurologist can help differentiate between the two and offer targeted treatment.
