What are different ways to help relieve some of the pain caused by cluster headaches?

Avoid triggers: Smoking and alcohol of any sort are known triggers. Siting up rather than lying down relieves some of the pressure of the headaches.

Some approaches: Best treatment is preventative, and many migraine meds work well. When headache occurs, usually completed before oral meds can be absorbed. Nasal triptans work faster, but may not always be successful.. Some pts feel better when they inhale 100% oxygen over 3-5 min. Steroids may break up an emerging pattern.
