Overview
Cluster headaches have been called by several other names in the past including Erythroprosopalgia of Bing, ciliary neuralgia, migrainous neuralgia, erythromelagia of the head, Horton's headache (named after Bayard T. Horton, an American neurologist who was the first to accurately describe the headache in 1939[1]), histaminic cephalalgia, petrosal neuralgia, sphenopalatine neuralgia, Vidian neuralgia, Sluder's neuralgia, and hemicrania angioparalyticia.[2] Sluder's neuralgia (syndrome) and cluster pain can often be temporarily stopped with nasal lidocaine spray. If successful, outpatient nasal septoplasty and splinting can resolve the condition.[3]
