RESUMO
The aetiology of cluster headache is partially unknown. Three areas are involved in the pathogenesis of cluster headache: the trigeminal nociceptive pathways, the autonomic system and the hypothalamus. The cluster headache attack involves activation of the trigeminal autonomic reflex. A dysfunction located in posterior hypothalamic gray matter is probably pivotal in the process. There is a probable association between smoke exposure, a possible genetic predisposition and the development of cluster headache.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the transdermal electro impulses directed on ganglions stellatum in order to prevent the accelerated ageing and improve the cerebral venous flow. Using by the angioscanning method it was been found the phenomenon of ectasia in venae jugularis int. in patients suffering of accelerated ageing in 100% cases. The normalization of venous diameter after the treatment by electrical impulses has been found in 31-55% of cases.
