High-flow oxygen treatment is a side-effect free solution for cluster headaches. This treatment isn’t anything new, however WebMD reports that, “its use has been limited by a lack of high-quality studies supporting its effectiveness.”

Cluster headaches are waves of extreme pain near the eyes or temples. These bouts of pain can last from 15 minutes to three hours, and if you think that’s bad enough, these headaches may occur several times a day.

According to the study, more than three-fourths of the people who were experiencing attacks and received oxygen treatment were pain-free within 15 minutes.

Find a doctor in your area if you suffer from cluster headaches and are interested in receiving oxygen treatment.
