Cluster headaches occur as attacks of severe, one-sided headaches. Typically, a number of attacks occur over several weeks (a cluster of attacks). The headaches then usually go for weeks, months or years until a next cluster of headaches develops. An injection with a medicine called sumatriptan, or breathing 100% oxygen, will usually relieve each headache. Some medicines are also used to prevent the headaches.
