Sharp. Stabbing. Throbbing. That’s how people with cluster headache describe their pain. Like migraine, cluster headache is a disabling disease, but there are options and reasons for hope on the horizon. In this episode, Dr. Larry Newman sits down with a patient and doctor to discuss what cluster headache is, how it differs from migraine and what treatments are available.
