Dr. Clayton Roach: The second most common type of headache is the most painful. We call them cluster headaches.
Dr. Ben Boudreau: Yeah. So cluster-type headaches frequently appear at night, and they usually affect the eye. And so you’ll feel pain behind the eye. And most times, it’s one-sided. Again, this is the most common type of headache or most painful type of headache, rather, And it impacts males predominantly more than it impacts females.
Dr. Clayton Roach: Yeah. And the key word there is a cluster. You get this stabbing pain in the eye and think you’re done, but you’re not. Some of these cluster headaches can last from 1 hour to 3 hours, and when they’re coming in, like in a cluster, you can have them for weeks to months. So many people and I’ve had patients say it’s pretty debilitating pain when they do come, and again, right around the eye cluster headache.
Dr. Ben Boudreau: Cluster headaches are the most painful type of headache that you can have.
