Is the cluster headache giving you a headache?
Here's an easy way to remember it.
C-Conjunctival congestion
L-Lacrimation
U-Unilateral
S-same time, periodicity
T-Tearing of conjunctiva
E-Excess autonomic activity
R-Rhinorrhoea
These clinical features help us to differentiate cluster headache from other types of unilateral headaches.
Treatment includes
1. 100% Oxygen at 10-12L/min for 15-20 mins
2.Sumitriptan 6mg S/c
3. Sumitriptan 20mg and Zolmitriptan 5mg nasal spray
Remember ORAL SUMITRIPTAN DOES NOT WORK!!
That's it folks!
Happy studying!
