Abstract
- Cluster headache attacks can be successfully treated with oxygen. We report four patients with episodic cluster headache were treated with oxygen therapy from one or two oxygen concentrators. Oxygen therapy with two oxygen concentrators seems to be effective in reduction or cessation of pain of cluster headaches. Patients expressed excellent satisfaction to oxygen therapy with two oxygen concentrators. Oxygen concentrators can be considered as an effective and safe alternative of oxygen cylinder for patients with cluster headache.
