Cluster Headache

Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy

Migrainous neuralgia, also known as cluster headache, is a type of very intense headache that occurs in episodes concentrated within certain periods. The pain is usually located on one side only, around or behind the eye.

Common symptoms: sharp, stabbing pain on one side of the head, tearing, redness of the eye, nasal congestion, and restlessness during the attacks.

When should you see a doctor? It is advisable to seek evaluation for very intense, repeated headaches or ones that change in pattern and affect daily life.

Which specialist treats it? The neurologist is the one who studies and guides this type of pain; the neurophysiologist and the neurosurgeon may step in in specific situations. Receiving a professional evaluation helps distinguish migrainous neuralgia from other causes of headache and plan its management.
