Cluster Headache
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Cluster headache is one of the most intense types of headache that exist. It is characterized by episodes of very severe pain around or behind one eye, appearing in bouts or "clusters" during certain periods and then subsiding.
Common symptoms: stabbing pain on one side of the head, a red or watery eye, nasal congestion, and restlessness or agitation during the episode.
When to see the doctor? An evaluation is important when the pain is very intense, recurs in attacks, or interferes with sleep and daily activities.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist is the right professional to study it, with support from the otolaryngologist when other causes need to be ruled out. If you have intense, recurrent headaches, it is advisable for a neurologist to evaluate them thoroughly to guide their management.
