Title: Cluster Headaches and Narcolepsy
Post by Jessica on Aug 19^th, 2009 at 1:00am

I just recently got diagnosed with CH and have yet to find a treatment that works. As I was researching more about CH I saw that they can be linked to sleep disorders such as Narcolepsy. I came across it and I think that I may have Narcolepsy too, and I just wanted to know more about it or if anyone has it too since they both result from problems with the hypothalumus. I don't know much about it right now and some information would help, thanks!

A scan of PubMed found only 3 reports of investigational studies linking the two conditions. All were in the range of 2001-2003, at least suggesting that not enough was found to drive more research.
