Cluster Headache and its epidemiology.

Reflection “Write about a child with special needs or suspected needs that you know. You may also choose to write about what you have observed in yourself as a child that might be considered an emotional or learning challenge.
Reflect upon your observations of the child. What are the potential developmental, behavioral, and emotional challenges for this child? What interventions may be helpful in overcoming this challenge? Explain.
Richard is a 40-year-old man with a history of 4 weeks of cluster headache once each year. These began when he was 35 years old. His cluster periods occur in the fall. The cluster period begins slowly, increasing over 1 week, reaching a peak where Richard has two or three severe cluster attacks each day. They occur from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. Each cluster headache lasts from 40 to 90 minutes, and the headaches are severe. The pain is always on the right side, with eye tearing and nasal congestion.
Richard comes into our office 1 week into this fall’s cluster series. The headaches are increasing in intensity, and he is miserable with the pain.
