Overview
Cluster headache is one of the most common trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias. It is a life long condition and usually results in reduced quality of life and marked functional disability. Although, the frequency of episodes usually decrease with age, 80% of patients continue to experience the attacks even after 15 years of onset.
