Cluster headache (CH) is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, severe headaches on one side of the head, typically around the eye.[1] There is often accompanying eye watering, nasal congestion, or swelling around the eye, on the affected side.[1] These symptoms typically last 15 minutes to 3 hours.[2] Attacks often occur in clusters which typically last for weeks or months and occasionally more than a year.[2]

The cause is unknown.[2] Risk factors include a history of exposure to tobacco smoke and a family history of the condition.[2] Things that may trigger attacks include alcohol, and nitroglycerin.[2] They are a primary headache disorder of the trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias type.[2] Diagnosis is based on symptom.[2]

Recommended management include lifestyle changes such as avoiding potential triggers.[2] Treatments for acute attacks include oxygen or a fast acting triptan.[2][3] Measures recommended to decrease the frequency of attacks include steroid injections, civamide, or verapamil.[3] Nerve stimulation or surgery may occasionally be used if other measures are not effective.[2]

The condition affects about 0.1% of the general population at some point in time and 0.05% in any given year.[4] The condition usually first occurs between 20 and 40 years of age.[2] Men are affected about four times more often than women.[4] Cluster headaches are named for the occurrence of groups of headache attacks (clusters).[1] They have also been referred to as "suicide headaches".[2]

Signs and symptoms

Cluster headaches are recurring bouts of excruciating unilateral headache attacks[5] of extreme intensity.[6] The duration of a typical CH attack ranges from about 15 to 180 minutes.[2] Most untreated attacks (about 75%) last less than 60 minutes.[7]

The onset of an attack is rapid and most often without preliminary signs that are characteristic in migraine. Preliminary sensations of pain in the general area of attack, referred to as "shadows", may signal an imminent CH, or these symptoms may linger after an attack has passed, or even between attacks.[8] Though CH is strictly unilateral, there are some documented cases of "side-shift" between cluster periods,[9] or, extremely rarely, simultaneous (within the same cluster period) bilateral cluster headaches.[10]

Pain

The pain occurs only on one side of the head (unilateral), around the eye (orbital), particularly above the eye (supraorbital), in the temple (temporal), or in any combination. The pain of CH attack is remarkably greater than in other headache conditions, including severe migraine. The pain is typically described as burning, stabbing, boring or squeezing, and may be located near or behind the eye.[11] As a result of the pain, those with cluster headaches may experience suicidal thoughts during an attack (giving the alternative name "suicide headache" or "suicidal headache").[12][13] It is reported as one of the most painful conditions.[14]

Other symptoms

The typical symptoms of cluster headache include grouped occurrence and recurrence (cluster) of headache attack, severe unilateral orbital, supraorbital and/or temporal pain. If left untreated, attack frequency may range from one attack every two days to eight attacks per day.[15][2] Cluster headache attack is accompanied by at least one of the following autonomic symptoms: drooping eyelid, pupil constriction, redness of the conjunctiva, tearing, runny nose, and less commonly, facial blushing, swelling, or sweating, typically appearing on the same side of the head as the pain.[15]

Restlessness (for example, pacing or rocking back and forth), photosensitivity, aversion to light (photophobia) or sensitivity to noise (phonophobia) may occur during a CH. Nausea is a rare symptom, although it has been reported.[5] Secondary effects may include inability to organize thoughts and plans, physical exhaustion, confusion, agitation, aggressiveness, depression and anxiety.[12]

People with CH may dread facing another headache and adjust their physical or social activities around a possible future occurrence. Likewise they may seek assistance to accomplish what would otherwise be normal tasks. They may hesitate to make plans because of the regularity, or conversely, the unpredictability of the pain schedule. These factors can lead to generalized anxiety disorders, panic disorder,[12] serious depressive disorders,[16] social withdrawal and isolation.[17]

Recurrence

Cluster headaches may occasionally be referred to as "alarm clock headache" because of the regularity of their recurrence. CH attacks may awaken individuals from sleep. Both individual attacks and the cluster grouping can have a metronomic regularity; attacks typically striking at a precise time of day each morning or night. The recurrence of headache cluster grouping may occur more often around solstices, or spring and autumn equinoxes, sometimes showing circannual periodicity. Conversely, attack frequency may be highly unpredictable, showing no periodicity at all. These observations have prompted researchers to speculate an involvement, or dysfunction of the hypothalamus. The Hypothalamus controls the body's "biological clock" and circadian rhythm.[18][19] In episodic cluster headache, attacks occur once or more daily, often at the same time each day for a period of several weeks, followed by a headache-free period lasting weeks, months, or years. Approximately 10–15% of cluster headaches are chronic, with multiple headaches occurring every day for years, sometimes without any remission.

In accordance with the International Headache Society (IHS) diagnostic criteria, cluster headaches occurring in two or more cluster periods, lasting from 7 to 365 days with a pain-free remission of one month or longer between the headache attacks, may be classified as episodic. If headache attacks occur for more than a year without pain-free remission of at least one month, the condition is classified as chronic.[15] Chronic CH both occurs and recurs without any remission periods between cycles; there may be variation in cycles, meaning the frequency and severity of attacks may change without predictability for a period of time. The frequency, severity and duration of headache attacks experienced by people during these cycles varies between individuals and does not demonstrate complete remission of the episodic form. The condition may change unpredictably, from chronic to episodic and from episodic to chronic.[20]

The cause of cluster headache is unknown.[21]

Genetics

Cluster headache may, but rarely, run in some families in an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.[21] People with a first degree relative with the condition are about 14–48 times more likely to develop it themselves,[1] and between 1.9 and 20% of persons with CH have a positive family history.[21] Possible genetic factors warrant further research, current evidence for genetic inheritance is limited.[21]

Tobacco smoking

About 65% of persons with CH are, or have been, tobacco smokers.[1] Stopping smoking does not lead to improvement of the condition and CH also occurs in those who have never smoked (e.g. children);[1] it is thought unlikely that smoking is a cause.[1] People with CH may be predisposed to certain traits, including smoking or other lifestyle habits.[22]

Hypothalamus

Some theories suggest that CH attacks may be related to dysfunction of the hypothalamus, this may explain why cluster headaches frequently occur around the same time each day, and during a particular season. One of the functions of the hypothalamus is regulation of the biological clock. Metabolic abnormalities have also been reported. Positron emission tomography (PET) scans indicate the brain areas which are activated during attack only, compared to pain free periods. These pictures show brain areas which are active during pain in yellow/orange color (called "pain matrix"). The area in the center (in all three views) is specifically activated during CH only. The bottom row voxel-based morphometry (VBM) shows structural brain differences between individuals with and without CH; only a portion of the hypothalamus is different.[23]

Pathophysiology

Cluster headaches have been historically described as vascular headaches; for decades, it has been proposed that intense pain was caused by dilation of blood vessels which in turn, was thought to create pressure on the trigeminal nerve. While this theory was thought to be the immediate cause of the pain, the underlying cause is not fully understood. CH pathogenesis is the subject of ongoing debate.[24] Investigations into vascular theories of headache disorders are helping to identify the role of other possible causative mechanisms in CH.[25]

Diagnosis

Cluster headaches are often misdiagnosed, mismanaged, or undiagnosed for many years; they may be confused with migraine, "cluster-like" headache (or mimics), CH subtypes, other TACs ( trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias), or other types of primary or secondary headache syndrome.[26] Cluster-like head pain may be diagnosed as secondary headache rather than cluster headache.[15]

A detailed oral history aids practitioners in correct differential diagnosis, as there are no confirmatory tests for CH. A headache diary can be useful in tracking when and where pain occurs, how severe it is, and how long the pain lasts. A record of coping strategies used may help distinguish between headache type; data on frequency, severity and duration of headache attacks are a necessary tool for initial and correct differential diagnosis in headache conditions.[27]

Correct diagnosis presents a challenge as the first CH attack may present where staff are not trained in the diagnosis of rare or complex chronic disease.[7] Although experienced ER staff are sometimes trained to detect headache types,[28] CH attacks themselves are not life-threatening.[29]

Individuals with CH typically experience diagnostic delay before correct diagnosis.[26][30] People are often misdiagnosed due to reported neck, tooth, jaw, and sinus symptoms and may unnecessarily endure many years of referral to ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists for investigation of sinuses; dentists for tooth assessment; chiropractors and manipulative therapists for treatment; or psychiatrists, psychologists and other medical disciplines before their headaches are correctly diagnosed.[31] Under-recognition of CH by health care professionals is reflected in consistent findings in Europe and the United States that the average time to diagnosis is around seven years.[32] Medical students receive little training in differential diagnoses and management of headaches.[33]

Differential

Cluster headache may be misdiagnosed as migraine or sinusitis.[32] Other types of headache are sometimes mistaken for, or may mimic closely, CH. Incorrect terms like "cluster migraine" confuse headache types, confound differential diagnosis and are often the cause of unnecessary diagnostic delay,[34] ultimately delaying appropriate specialist treatment.

Headaches that may be confused with CH include:

Prevention

Preventive treatments are used to reduce or eliminate cluster headache attacks; they are generally used in combination with abortive and transitional techniques.[5]

Verapamil

The recommended first-line preventative therapy is verapamil, a calcium channel blocker.[2][39] Verapamil was previously underused in people with cluster headache.[5]

Steroids

There is little evidence to support a long-term benefit from steroids,[2] but they may be used until other medications take effect as they appear to be effective at three days.[2] They are generally discontinued after 8–10 days of treatment.[5]

Surgery

Nerve stimulators may be an option in the small number of people who do not improve with medications.[40][41] Two procedures, deep brain stimulation or occipital nerve stimulation, may be useful;[2] early experience shows a benefit in about 60% of cases.[42] It typically takes weeks or months for this benefit to appear.[41] A non-invasive method using transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is being studied.[41]

A number of surgical procedures, such as a rhizotomy or microvascular decompression, may also be considered,[41] but evidence to support them is limited and there are cases of people ending up worse off.[41]

Other

Lithium, methysergide, and topiramate are recommended alternative treatments,[39][43] although there is little evidence supporting the use of topiramate or methysergide.[2][44] This is also true for tianeptine, melatonin and ergotamine.[2] Valproate, sumatriptan and oxygen are not recommended as preventative measures.[2] Botulinum toxin injections have shown limited success.[45] Evidence for baclofen, botulinum toxin, and capsaicin is unclear.[44]

Management

Treatment for cluster headache is divided into three primary categories: abortive, transitional, and preventative.[46] There are two primary treatments for acute CH: oxygen and triptans,[2] but they are underused due to misdiagnosis of the syndrome.[5] During bouts of headaches, triggers such as alcohol, nitroglycerine and naps during the day should be avoided.[7]

Oxygen

Oxygen therapy may help people with CH, but it does not help prevent future episodes.[2] Typically it is given via a non-rebreather mask at 12–15 liters per minute for 15–20 minutes.[2] One review found about 70% improve within 15 minutes.[7] The evidence for effectiveness of 100% oxygen however is weak.[47][7] Hyperbaric oxygen at pressures of ~2 times greater than atmospheric pressure may relieve cluster headache.[47]

Triptans

The other primarily recommended treatment of acute attacks is subcutaneous or intranasal sumatriptan.[39] Sumatriptan and zolmitriptan have both been shown to improve symptoms during an attack with sumatriptan being superior.[48] Because of the vasoconstrictive side-effect of triptans, they may be contraindicated in people with ischemic heart disease.[2]

Opioids

The use of opioid medication in management of CH is not recommended[49] and may make headache syndromes worse.[50][51] Long-term opioid use is associated with well known dependency, addiction and withdrawal syndromes.[52] Prescription of opioid medication may additionally lead to further delay in differential diagnosis, undertreatment, and mismanagement.[49]

Other

The vasoconstrictor ergot compounds may be useful,[7] but have not been well studied in acute attacks.[48] Octreotide administered subcutaneously has been demonstrated to be more effective than placebo for the treatment of acute attacks.[53]

Epidemiology

Cluster headache affects about 0.1% of the general population at some point in time.[4] Males are affected about four times more often than females.[4] The condition usually starts between the ages of 20 and 50 years, although it can occur at any age.[1] About one in five of adults reports the onset of cluster headache between 10 and 19 years.[54]

History

The first complete description of cluster headache was given by the London neurologist Wilfred Harris in 1926, who named the disease migrainous neuralgia.[55][56][57] Descriptions of CH date to 1745 and probably earlier.[58]

The condition was originally named Horton's cephalalgia after Bayard Taylor Horton, a US neurologist who postulated the first theory as to their pathogenesis. His original paper describes the severity of the headaches as being able to take normal men and force them to attempt or complete suicide; his 1939 paper said:

"Our patients were disabled by the disorder and suffered from bouts of pain from two to twenty times a week. They had found no relief from the usual methods of treatment. Their pain was so severe that several of them had to be constantly watched for fear of suicide. Most of them were willing to submit to any operation which might bring relief."[59]

CH has alternately been called erythroprosopalgia of Bing, ciliary neuralgia, erythromelalgia of the head, Horton's headache, histaminic cephalalgia, petrosal neuralgia, sphenopalatine neuralgia, vidian neuralgia, Sluder's neuralgia, Sluder's syndrome, and hemicrania angioparalyticia.[60]

Society and culture

Robert Shapiro, a professor of neurology, says that while cluster headaches are about as common as multiple sclerosis with a similar disability level, as of 2013, the US National Institutes of Health had spent $1.872 billion on research into multiple sclerosis in one decade, but less than $2 million on CH research in 25 years.[61] Due to an occasional association with suicidal thoughts, cluster headaches have been colloquially named "suicide headaches."[12] There are no approved medicines for the prevention of cluster headache in the United States.[62]

Research directions

Some controversial case reports suggest that ingesting tryptamines such as LSD, psilocybin, or DMT can reduce pain and interrupt cluster headache cycles.[63][64] A 2006 interview/survey of 53 individuals with CH said that psilocybin extended remission periods in 10% cases.[64] The survey was not a blinded or controlled study, and was "limited by recall and selection bias".[63]
