Cluster headaches are the most common of the primary headache type known as trigeminal autonomic cephalgia. They are fairly rare, plaguing 0.1% of the population, making studying the disease process difficult at best. They are considered one of if not the most severe types of headaches, and so, despite their rarity, recognition and treatment are vital. This activity reviews the evaluation, treatment, and management of cluster headaches, including recognizing other forms of headache. Also, it assesses the approved abortive treatments and prophylactic management and distinguishes them from common treatments with poor supporting evidence. The activity highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating patients with cluster headaches.
