Oxygen Therapy: Quick Relief for Cluster Headaches with No Side Effects
Dr. Alan Lindemann (Rural Doc Alan) explains:
Oxygen therapy = fastest, safest relief for cluster headaches
2/3 of patients respond in under 10 minutes
No side effects and no risks
Triptans (subcutaneous) are another first-line option
Oral meds act too slowly
Sub-occipital block can help prevent future attacks
⚠️ Some patients (10–20%) develop drug resistance—making oxygen therapy crucial.
