Unfortunately, very little is known about the source of cluster headaches.
The best data available suggests that cluster headaches are somehow regulated by the posterior hypothalamic gray matter. This region of the brain is responsible for our circadian rhythms and our biologic functions such as appetite and temperature regulation. It is felt that a defect in this region occurs in patients who get cluster headaches and this is why they occur principally at night. The mechanism that triggers a series of cluster headaches and then eventually stops a series of cluster headaches is unknown.

Dr. Loftus is a gentleman who took the time to discuss my medical problems all in the process of getting to know me better. I feel so much better having seen him and discussing my problems. All of the excellent reviews I read about him were correct and I would recommend him to anyone.

It is unusual to find a medical practice providing both a very experienced and talented physician and incredibly strong management. Dr. Loftus and his staff run an extremely well-organized practice that is respectful of patients’ time while still providing for generous time between doctor and patient. It is hard to find such a well-managed practice in today’s world, especially with such talented medical staff.

Dr. Brian Loftus, M.D.
Dr. Loftus is Board Certified in Headache Medicine as well as Neurology. In private practice since 1994, Dr. Loftus’ practice has gotten busier and he has decided to concentrate his practice in areas that he can make a particular difference compared to other neurologist.

He has been named a Texas Monthly “Super Doctor” and an H Texas magazine “Top Doctor” multiple times.
