If you sporadically fall victim to ‘cluster headaches,’ you know how it pains! Rare and extremely painful, the debilitating headaches are also described as ‘suicide headaches’ because of its excruciating pain.
Primarily occurring between the ages of 20 to 50 years, the unbearable headache found to prevail between 56 and 326 people per 100,000, unfortunately have only a few treatment options.
But, a new study has come up with an effective alternative treatment for the disease – the zolmitriptan nasal spray.
The spray is not only safe but is quite effective in treating cluster headaches; you may get rid of the excruciating pain in just 30 minutes!
Study’s author Alan M. Rapoport, MD, with The New England Center for Headache in Stamford, CT, and Clinical Professor of Neurology at The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in Los Angeles said,
This is a significant finding and the main endpoint of our study. The 10 milligram dose worked as quickly as 10 minutes in some patients.
So, grab the new treatment offering significant relief in a shorter time, to bid those nightmarish days of suffering from the unbearable pain ‘goodbye’.
