This meta-analysis of two studies investigated the efficacy of zolmitriptan nasal spray in the acute treatment of cluster headaches. Researchers found that zolmitriptan significantly reduced headache intensity and provided relief for both episodic and chronic cluster headaches, offering a potential new weapon in the battle against this challenging condition.

The meta-analysis revealed that zolmitriptan nasal spray was significantly more effective than placebo in providing headache relief within 30 minutes of administration. This finding is particularly encouraging for individuals with cluster headaches, as it offers a rapid and effective means of alleviating their pain. It's like discovering a hidden oasis in the heart of the desert, bringing much-needed respite from the searing pain of cluster headaches.
