Cluster Headache Market Outlook

Thelansis’s “Cluster Headache Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2022 To 2032" covers disease overview, epidemiology, drug utilization, prescription share analysis, competitive landscape, clinical practice, regulatory landscape, patient share, market uptake, market forecast, and key market insights under the potential Cluster Headache treatment modalities options for eight major markets (USA, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, and China).

Cluster Headache Overview

Cluster headaches, belonging to the trigeminal autonomic cephalgias (TACs), are the most prevalent primary headache type. They manifest as brief, one-sided headaches accompanied by at least one autonomic symptom on the same side, such as tearing, nasal congestion, eye redness, or ear fullness. These headaches can occur as infrequently as every other day or as often as eight times daily, primarily during nighttime hours. Most sufferers experience episodic patterns, enduring daily attacks for weeks to months, followed by remission periods lasting months to years. Despite this, the precise cause of cluster headaches remains uncertain. Risk factors for these headaches include male gender, age over 30, alcohol consumption, previous head surgery or injury, and family history. The treatment of cluster headaches comprises two key aspects: addressing acute attacks and implementing preventative measures. Acute Treatment: Oxygen therapy, specifically 100% oxygen, is the most recognized and effective method for managing cluster headaches. This approach is uniquely recommended for cluster headaches and not for other headache types. Over two-thirds of patients respond favorably to oxygen therapy, typically achieving relief in under ten minutes. An alternative level A recommendation for acute treatment is the use of triptans, either administered subcutaneously (sumatriptan) or via nasal spray (zolmitriptan). Preventative Treatment: The primary level A recommended preventative treatment for cluster headaches is a suboccipital blockade. Verapamil is the most commonly prescribed preventive medication, particularly as the initial preventive therapy for individuals with chronic cluster headaches or those experiencing episodic cluster headaches for at least two months. Glucocorticoids are also recommended as preventive therapy for individuals with episodic cluster headaches characterized by infrequent and brief active cluster periods. Additionally, other pharmacological options encompass lithium, valproic acid, melatonin, and intranasal capsaicin. Cluster headaches frequently co-occur with psychiatric conditions, including depression, anxiety, and aggressive behavior. Although suicide attempts are rare, these associated conditions significantly contribute to the overall burden of the disease.

• Approximately one in 1,000 U.S. adults have encountered cluster headaches. Studies suggest a one-year prevalence as high as 53 per 100,000 adults. The typical age of onset ranges from 20 to 40 years.
• The male-to-female ratio for cluster headaches is 4.3 overall, with a substantially higher ratio in chronic cluster headache cases (15) than in episodic cases (3.8). Episodic cluster headaches are six times more prevalent than the chronic form.
