Cluster headache sufferers typically experience very severe headaches of a piercing quality near one [[eye]] or [[temple]] that last for fifteen minutes to three hours with some lasting days (rarely more than three days). The headaches are typically [[wiktionary:unilateral|unilateral]] and rarely change sides during the same cycle (see episodic). Cluster headaches have a characteristic circadian periodicity and usually present with autonomic symptoms.

Overview

Cluster headache sufferers typically experience very severe headaches of a piercing quality near one eye or temple that last for fifteen minutes to three hours with some lasting days (rarely more than three days). The headaches are typically unilateral and rarely change sides during the same cycle (see episodic). Cluster headaches have a characteristic circadian periodicity and usually present with autonomic symptoms.
