Cluster headache medications represent a functional therapeutic grouping rather than a single pharmacological class, comprising structurally diverse agents categorized into abortive, transitional, and preventive treatments.
Acute abortive agents, notably high-flow normobaric oxygen and 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonists like subcutaneous sumatriptan, work by inducing cranial vasoconstriction and inhibiting trigeminovascular nociceptive activation.
Preventive and bridging regimens—including calcium channel blockers such as verapamil, corticosteroids, lithium, and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonists like galcanezumab—modulate hypothalamic-trigeminal pathways to reduce attack frequency and severity.
These agents are indicated primarily for cluster headache, a severe primary trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia characterized by excruciating unilateral orbital and temporal pain.
