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 and his staff are excellent. My wait time has never been more than 5 minutes before I’m taken back and seen by Dr. Loftus. He spends the necessary time talking through my issues and explaining his take on the issue and how we should proceed with treatment. A great experience every time I have an appointment. I wish my experiences with other doctors were half as good!

That fact that Dr. Loftus specializes in the type of problem I have makes him a superior physician compared with other neurologists I consulted about my problem.
Providing headache and hyperhidrosis care & wellness for over 25 years.
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.
