One of my brother's Co-workers is a ClusterHead and has recently started this.  I haven't heard any reports on effectiveness yet, but will ask next time I talk to him.

If the medical literature is a good indicator, looks like not gaining any attention as a Cluster treatment.

2008 is the lastest year then there are as many as 2-3 literature citations.

Topomax is a commonly used prevent, probably the second most common prevent with verapamil, a blood pressure medication, being the most common first line prevent.

I use lamictal for other nerve pain. My doc had me increase the dose to see if it would help the CH's, it didn't...

I've been taking it for years for another condition. It didn't have any effect on my CH.
