Migraine is a neurological condition that can cause disabling headache, nausea and sensitivity to light or sound. Cluster headache is a different disorder with severe, repeated attacks. The diagnosis matters because the evidence and standard treatments differ.
A Cochrane review found low-quality evidence from small trials that HBOT may relieve an acute migraine attack, but no evidence that it prevents future attacks. Oxygen delivered at normal atmospheric pressure is used for cluster headache; this is different from treatment inside a hyperbaric chamber. HBOT remains investigational for migraine and should be considered in the context of established acute and preventive care.
