Despite some new preventatives that have not worked particularly well(Topomax, natural ones such as melatonin/Coenzyme Q10), we are usually back to the staples of verapamil, lithium, indomethacin, short courses of prednisone, etc.  What we desperately need are better, more effective preventatives;  the drug companies are working on them, primarily for chronic daily headache, and we all hope that these corss over and help clusters as well.
   Meanwhile, I just published a report on Botox for clusters, where it was not particularly effective BUT some people did very well(I put that study, as well as hundreds of others, on http://www.headachedrugs.com).

Hi Doc Robbins.  Glad to see you're still around.  Hadn't heard from you in a while and thought maybe we'd lost you.
Thanks for your informative site and continued efforts to help us clusterheads.
