Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in cluster headache

Abstract: Preliminary reports have shown that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) interrupts cluster headache (CH) attacks. In the present study, 6 of 7 patients with episodic cluster headache who were treated with hyperbaric oxygen experienced an interruption of the attack. In 3 of 6 responders the florid period of the cluster headache was interrupted. The other 3 patients remained without pain attacks for a period lasting from 3 to 6 days. In 6 different patients, a placebo treatment had no effect. The present findings clearly in… Show more

“…It has been shown that exposure to hyperbaric oxygen is able not only to interrupt a cluster headache but also to prevent the successive attacks occurring for 2 or 3 days after the treatment [15]. The mechanism for this effect has not been completely clarified but we can already verify the effect of exposure to hyperbaric condition on the content of the immunoreactivity to substance P in the nasal mucosa of CH patients [16,17].…”
