Clarifying the relationship between sphenopalatine ganglion volume and cluster headache

Mean sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) volume was found to be significantly larger in individuals with cluster headache compared to healthy controls (P<0.001).
SPG volume was also found to be significantly larger on the side of the brain associated with pain in individuals with cluster headache (P<0.001).
The authors concluded that SPG is a reliable marker for cluster headache and may be associated with symptomatology, although further studies are needed.
