During the forecast period, the worldwide cluster headache market is expected to rise at a considerable CAGR. Several therapeutic alternatives for the treatment of cluster headaches are accessible in the market, which is boosting the cluster headache industry throughout the projected period. All of the treatments available, however, might be either acute or preventative. The more invasive operations are reserved for the most challenging cases. Only a few of these treatments are available on the market
Oxygen Treatment: In oxygen treatment, the oxygen is delivered for 15 minutes at a time through a nasal cannula or face mask. This treatment is considered as the first line of treatment for the cluster headache in hospitals, hence contribute a significant share in the cluster headache market. However, the major drawback of this treatment is its relative inaccessibility outside the hospital or clinics as the patient would need to have some specialized oxygen thanks to them all the time which may impact the growth of the market negatively.
Nerve Block: A fluid containing an anaesthetic and a corticosteroid is administered near the occipital nerve in this procedure. Because these occipital nerves go from the top of the spine onto the scalp, headache discomfort is relieved when their communication is disrupted. This treatment is intended primarily for the most severe chronic cluster patients. This treatment is only used to provide temporary comfort until longer-acting medications kick in.
Sphenopalatine Ganglion Stimulation: This method was recently developed and is utilised for the most severe forms of chronic cluster headaches, and it is expected to significantly boost the cluster headache market in the near future. The procedure entails surgically implanting a series of specialised electrodes on the sphenopalatine ganglion, a brain area implicated in pain processing. A small electric shock is administered when patients activate these electrodes with a portable controller.This shock essentially scrambles messages from this region of the brain.
