Article Abstract
Cluster headache (CH) is a debilitating neurological condition characterized by excruciating unilateral pain, often accompanied by autonomic symptoms. We present a compelling case report detailing the experience of a 22-year-old male who suffered from refractory CH and exhibited a remarkable response to propranolol. This unique case highlights the potential effectiveness of propranolol in alleviating CH symptoms that are resistant to conventional therapies. Moreover, the absence of reported side effects on such a low dose further underscores its appeal as a treatment option. This case report sheds light on a potential avenue for managing refractory CH, offering hope for individuals who struggle with this debilitating condition.
