“…Unlike migraine patients, patients with CH generally do not lie still during attacks and may pace with agitation and restlessness [11,12]. Acute CH medications include triptans, dihydroergotamine (DHE), inhaled oxygen, and intranasal lidocaine or capsacin [12][13][14][15]. Often CH occurs in cycles lasting weeks to months at a time with prolonged remissions.…”

“…"off-label use" verwendet werden, sind aber in der Kopfschmerztherapie unumgänglich [19]. Nebenwirkungsarm sind die intranasale Verabreichung von Lidocain [20,28] und die Insufflation von Sauerstoff. Die intranasale Verabreichung von Triptanen ist ebenfalls hilfreich [20,32], scheint jedoch der subkutanen Therapie in ihrer Wirksamkeit unterlegen.…”

Cluster headache is the third most frequent type of primary cephalgia only exceeded in frequency by tension-type headache and migraine. Cluster headache is characterized by periodic attacks of unilateral excruciating pain and accompanying autonomic features. It is arguably the most disabling form of primary headache. Therefore, prompt recognition of this disorder is necessary to provide an opportunity for effective treatment. We report on a patient with cluster headache, who complained about an atypical interval of dull headache between the cluster attacks, thus excluding the differential diagnosis of hemicrania continua. The common drugs for acute cluster attacks proved to be ineffective as well as prophylactic treatment with steroids and verapamil. Only administration of topiramate led to relief of pain.

“…The nasal application of lidocaine (1 ml with a concentration of 4-10% ipsilateral to the pain with the head reclined by 45°a nd rotated to the affected side by 30-40°) is effective in at least a third of the patients [56][57][58].…”

Following the revised International Headache Society criteria, a group of short-lasting headaches associated with autonomic symptoms, the so called trigeminal autonomic cephalgias, were newly recognized. The trigeminal autonomic cephalgias include cluster headache, paroxysmal hemicranias and a syndrome involving short-lasting unilateral neuralform cephalgias with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) syndrome. In all of these syndromes, the half-sided head pain and cranial autonomic symptoms are prominent. All of the trigeminal autonomic cephalgias differ in duration, frequency and rhythmicity of the attacks, the intensity of pain and autonomic symptoms, as well as treatment options. This review gives a brief clinical description of the headache disorders and recent pathophysiological findings, as well as an overview of the treatment of cluster headache, paroxysmal hemicranias and SUNCT syndrome.
