Yes, there are some long-term treatment options that can help lessen the frequency and severity of cluster headaches.

One option is nerve stimulation therapy, which involves implanting a small device under the skin that delivers mild electrical impulses to the occipital nerves in the back of the head. This therapy has been found to reduce the frequency and severity of cluster headaches in some patients.

Another option is steroid treatment, which involves taking a course of steroids to reduce inflammation and swelling in the brain. This treatment can help prevent cluster headaches from occurring.

Finally, there are surgical options for people who do not respond to other treatments. One surgical option is occipital nerve stimulation, which involves implanting a small device under the skin that delivers electrical impulses to the occipital nerves. Another surgical option is deep brain stimulation, which involves implanting electrodes in the brain to block pain signals.

It’s important to consult with your doctor to determine which treatment options are best for you, as different treatments may work better for different individuals.
