New Daily Persistent Headache Support Group

I see this on the news and had heard about oxygen therapy for clusters headaches - but has anyone ever heard about oxygen therapy for NDPH ?? I asked my local doctor and he had heard about it but didn't know how to go about 'doing' it ? Willing to try anything to get these headaches under control - if anyone can help please let me know, having a bad bad day.

Sorry to hear that you are having a rough day. I have heard of oxygen therapy vaguely but I don't know any details about it either. I wish I could help you more. I hope that someone else here knows and that tomorrow is a better day.

They tried it on some migraine patients and it wasn't nearly as statistical to provide relief as clusters. NDPH is even more tricky to treat than migraine, so I doubt it would help. That said, it wouldn't hurt if you could figure out how to go about it. A hyperbaric chamber is another option that is said to help a lot of conditions. I assume by oxygen therapy you meant by the bottle, not going in the chamber.

Yes I was talking about the oxygen bottle therapy - I guess it is one of those things that can't hurt - but just not sure how to go about it either.

Thanks for the reply though.

Another high pain day today.

Take care,

Vicki

Vicki, there is a little bit of the technical details in the newspaper article that Stroops posted in this thead

That might help your doctor figure out how to try it.
