Electroanalgesia For Cluster Headache Pain
Electroanalgesia is a type of non-invasive therapy that uses electrical stimulation to manage chronic pain. Although it may seem like a radical new form of therapy, it’s been around for decades and has been proven safe and effective by the FDA.Â
The way electroanalgesia works is relatively simple: electrical currents are used to block pain signals from being sent to the brain, release endorphins, and reduce inflammation in affected areas. As a result, you can experience significant pain relief from cluster headaches without taking medication.
It’s worth mentioning that there are other types of electrical stimulation therapies out there, such as TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation).Â
However, TENS is not recommended for cluster headache pain relief. This is because TENS devices use low-pulse electrical currents that provide temporary pain relief and are nowhere near as effective as electroanalgesia, which uses high-pulse currents to achieve long-term relief.
As far as the procedure of electroanalgesia goes, it is non-invasive and painless. However, for it to be as effective as possible, multiple sessions are required. The more sessions you undergo, the more long-lasting the relief from cluster headache pain will be.Â
We recommend 12 weeks’ worth of electroanalgesia therapy at two sessions per week.
IV Therapy For Cluster Headache Pain
Intravenous (IV) therapy is another treatment that can be very beneficial to anyone suffering from cluster headaches. IV therapy allows the body to absorb nutrients, vitamins, and minerals directly into the bloodstream. This can help reduce inflammation in affected areas and support healthy brain function.Â
We can also use IV therapy to deliver fluids to the body, which can help improve energy levels and reduce fatigue, a common side effect of cluster headaches.
We offer IV therapy specifically tailored to each patient’s individual needs. We achieve this by performing bloodwork to evaluate each patient’s deficiencies and create a customized IV therapy program to target those issues.
Lifestyle Counseling For Cluster Headache Pain
We believe in treating cluster headache pain holistically. This means that we consider all aspects of our patients’ lives and provide them with lifestyle guidance to help reduce or eliminate the pain. For instance, we might recommend changes in diet, exercise routine, stress management techniques, and more to help improve their overall health.
Additionally, we provide resources and counseling that can help our patients better understand the causes of their headaches and learn how to better cope with the pain so that they can have a more enjoyable life.
