“Cluster headaches are sometimes called ‘Suicide Headaches’ because the pain is so intense and difficult to resolve,” said Steve Young of Ew Publishing; “I’ve had cluster headaches, and I can't think of a pain that is more intense.”

“It should be a relief to everyone who suffers from cluster headaches, or migraines, that medical research is pointing to some relief and it’s based on the serotonin system,” he added.

Serotonin (5-HT, 5-hydroxytryptamine) is a ubiquitous biochemical found in animals and plants. Mammals use it as a neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous systems and also as a local hormone in other systems ~ such as the digestive, heart and immune.
