Cluster Headaches are headaches that come on quickly and the person may have several headaches over a few days or weeks. The cluster headache is like a migraine in it's intensity and can change your life if you are in the midst of a cluster.
While the medical community has known for a long time that high flow oxygen really helps these headache suffers, I just read about a recent study in England.
What they found in their study was that high flow oxygen stopped the cluster headache within 15 minutes 78% of the time. This was compared to room air placebo treatment where the headaches were relieved about 20% of the time.
If you are a cluster headache sufferer, talk to your doctor about oxygen therapy.
