Overview

Cluster headaches have been called by several other names in the past including Erythroprosopalgia of Bing, ciliary neuralgia, migrainous neuralgia, erythromelagia of the head, Horton's headache, histaminic cephalalgia, petrosal neuralgia, sphenopalatine neuralgia, Vidian neuralgia, Sluder's neuralgia, and hemicrania angioparalyticia. In 1952, cluster headache was named by American physician E. Charles Kunkle. In 1998, cluster headache was established as a separate entity by International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-I). In 2004, restlessness/agitation was added with the ICHD-II revision. In 2013, two new autonomic features were added in the ICHD-III-beta revision in 2013.2.

Historical Perspective

Discovery

  • Cluster headaches have been called by several other names in the past including Erythroprosopalgia of Bing, ciliary neuralgia, migrainous neuralgia, erythromelagia of the head, Horton's headache, histaminic cephalalgia, petrosal neuralgia, sphenopalatine neuralgia, Vidian neuralgia, Sluder's neuralgia, and hemicrania angioparalyticia.
  • In 1641, Nicolas Tulp, was the first person to describe in detail about cluster headache.[1][2]
  • In 1745, cluster headache was accounted in complete depth and detail by Gerard van Swieten, a Dutch physician.
  • In the early 1900, Paul Robert Bing (a German neurologisy) and Willfred Harris (a London neurologist ), elaborated further details about cluster headache.
  • In 1952, cluster headache was named by American physician E. Charles Kunkle.[3]
  • In 1998, cluster headache was established as a separate entity by International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-I).
  • In 2004, restlessness/agitation was added with the ICHD-II revision.
  • In 2013, two new autonomic features were added in the ICHD-III-beta revision in 2013.2.[4]

Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies

  • In 2004, the first anti-CGRP treatment (intravenous CGRP-receptor antagonist or gepant, olcegepant) was established as an effective treatment for Primary headaches.
  • In May 17, 2018, Erenumab, an anti-CGRP receptor monoclonal antibody, for prevention of migraine.

Impact on Cultural History

  • Translational research models were actually transformed into actual treatments, were also FDA approved.
  • The ongoing discoveries has opened a new era in the acute and preventive treatment of primary headache disorders.
