My Husband suffered with cluster headaches for years until a massage therapist helped get rid of them. He has not got one since. If I remember right. The therapist concentrates on a neck muscle while my husband was sitting in a chair. it was daily for a week then once every week for 1 month. It worked. She was taught by a man specifically for the cluster headaches. My husband could not take prednisone because it would cause him to get pancreatitis. Thank God he found that therapist.
Whatever prednisone helps, acupuncture can help as well. And without the problems of steroids.
