Cluster Headache
Cluster Headache also known as suicide headache, is defined as an
uncommon distinctive neurovascular syndrome occurring in either episodic
or chronic patterns of that occur
periodically over a long period of time. The diseases affects over 0.1%
of the population, occurring at 45-to 60-day intervals with one to
three headaches a day lasting 45 min to 2 h(a), if untreated it, can
cause increased frequency of the attacks.
Diet for cluster headache
Certain diet may trigger the attack of migraine headache as a result of
allergic reaction in certain people, but it may be helpful to people who
are experience migraine headache with no allergic effects
1. Water
Water, an essential for the body’s proper functioning, and dehydration
may trigger the migraine attack. Un a study of Fifty migraineurs were
asked if insufficient fluid intake could provoke their migraine attacks conducted by The City of London Migraine
Clinic, twenty replied "yes," 7 were doubtfully positive, and 23 said
"no." In addition 14 of 45 migraineurs at a meeting of the British Migraine association (UK) also recognized fluid deprivation as one of their migraine triggers.(50) Adding fluid deprivation to migraine patient may reduce the numbers of migraine attacks.
2. Fish oil and Olive oil
Omega-3 PUFA, from fish
oil-eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have been
studied to consist anti-inflammatory properties of which are useful in
the management of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, including
rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis,
lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis and migraine headaches.(51)
3. Broccoli
Broccoli is a very good source of magnesium and a good source of
calcium. Magnesium, plays an essential in many intracellular processes
and in migraine pathogenesis, low levels of magnesium may promote cortical spreading depression, hyperaggregation of platelets, affect serotonin
receptor function, and influence synthesis and release of a variety of
neurotransmitters of which can trigger migraine headache(52)
4. Sardines
Sardines contain measurable amount of Omega 3 fatty acid, calcium and
CoQ10 of which can be helpful in reducing the frequency of migraine
headache (53)(54)
5. Spinach
Spinach is an excellent source of both calcium, magnesium, vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
Riboflavin therapy supplemented may be appropriate alternatives in patients with migraine disorder as it significant decreases in headache frequency, intensity, duration and medication intake (55)
6. Mustard Greens
The World's Healthiest Foods recommends mustard greens as an excellent
source of calcium and a very good source of magnesium of which are
important in preventing and treating migraine headache (56)(57))
7. Fish
Beside rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, all fish contain more or less
DL-phenylalanine, an essential amino acid of which is important for our
body converts phenylalanine to tyrosine, another amino acid then to
epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are important brain chemicals
called neurotransmitters. Some researchers suggest that DL-phenylalanine
(DLPA) appears to potentiate pain relief and also ease depression in
patients receiving opiates for chronic non-malignant pain(58)
