Cluster Headache
Often called the “suicide headache” for its severity, cluster headache produces excruciating, recurring attacks of head and facial pain — among the most severe pain conditions known. Despite this severity, there are only two FDA-approved drug therapies for cluster, both of which are injectable and have significant cardiovascular warnings.
Migraine
Migraine affects 12-15% of the population, and despite a wide range of available therapies, many patients still don’t achieve adequate relief. A significant share report ongoing dissatisfaction with their current treatment — due to incomplete symptom control, delayed onset, or side effects — underscoring the continued need for better acute treatment options.
Post-Traumatic Headache
Headache following traumatic brain injury (TBI) is increasingly recognized as a distinct and often persistent condition, and our understanding of its underlying mechanisms continues to evolve. There are currently no therapies approved specifically for post-traumatic headache, leaving patients to be managed with off-label therapies.
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia causes recurrent, severe facial pain that can be profoundly disabling to daily life. Existing treatment options — including anticonvulsant medications and surgical or ablative procedures — carry a high rate of adverse effects and, in many cases, provide only partial or temporary relief.
