This case report presents the holistic way of management of cluster headaches (CH) utilizing siddha energy balancing protocol in a 42-year-old male radiologist suffering from severe unilateral left frontal pain, ocular redness, lacrimation, and autonomic symptoms for over two years. MRI findings indicated inflammatory changes near the pituitary gland, suggestive of apophysitis, along with minor maxillary sinus involvement, a cause for his severe headache. Despite multiple conventional neurological and endocrinological treatments, including hormonal therapy and analgesics, only temporary relief was achieved with relapsing episodes after discontinuation of medications.
Based on traditional insights of Siddha, the condition was interpreted as neurovascular imbalances, a disturbance in cranialenergy flow. A targeted manual energy therapy protocol CERT (Chakrasiddh Energy Release Therapy) was initiated using neuro-myofascial pressure point stimulation (aligned with siddha pressure principles), focused on the cranial and upper cervical regions along with gut points. The patient underwent five energy sessions of 45 minutes each, twice weekly. Clinical outcomes were measured using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Cluster Headache Impact Questionnaire (CHIQ), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Post-intervention, the patient reported substantial reduction in headache severity and frequency, better sleep, improved screen tolerance, emotional balance, and reduced dependence on medication. This case underscores the potential of non-pharmacological energy-based CERT as a safe and effective adjunct or alternative for managing chronic headache syndromes, particularly those associated with neuroinflammatory conditions like pituitary apophysitis.
