Abstract

This thesis provides an insight in the clinical aspects and therapy with neurostimulation in cluster headache patients. An unique cohort of Dutch cluster headache patients (LUCA - Leiden University Cluster headache neuro-Analysis programme) has been used to analyse different clinical aspects like drug-use, chronobiology and aura symptoms in cluster headache patients. Regarding neuromodulation: a case-report about occipital nerve stimulation and pregnancy is described here and a meta-analysis of non-invasive vagal nerve stimulation as acute treatment in both episodic and chronic cluster headache.
