Cluster headache (CH) is a severe disorder with debilitating attacks. This review focuses on chronic cluster headache, exploring its demographics, clinical features, and risk factors, highlighting knowledge gaps in chronification.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Headache Medicine

Background:

  • Cluster headache (CH) is a rare, severe neurological disorder.
  • Characterized by unilateral head pain and autonomic features.
  • Distinguished into episodic and chronic forms based on pain-free intervals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the chronic forms of cluster headache.
  • To focus on demographics, clinical manifestations, social habits, and predictive factors.
  • To explore the roles of head injury, genetics, and neuroimaging in chronic CH.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of chronic cluster headache.
  • Analysis of data on demographics, clinical presentation, and social habits.
  • Examination of genetic, neuroimaging, and therapeutic aspects.

Main Results:

  • Chronic CH occurs in a minority of patients, with primary and secondary forms.
  • Episodic CH arising from chronic CH is the rarest form.
  • Limited understanding exists regarding risk factors for CH chronification.

Conclusions:

  • Chronic cluster headache presents unique challenges in diagnosis and management.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate the risk factors contributing to CH chronification.
  • Comprehensive understanding of chronic CH requires investigation into various contributing factors.
