Cluster Headache vs Migraine â How is Migraine Different? The first obvious difference between migraine vs cluster headache is the gender of a typical patient. Migraineurs are usually female (the ratio is 3 women to 1 man) by contrast, those with cluster are usually male (the ratio, 5 men to 1 woman).
Between the clusters of headaches are pain-free times that can last months or even years. Cluster headaches affect men more frequently than women. Pain from cluster headache is typically on one side of the head and in the worst attacks the pain can be excruciating. Pain may also be bilateral and non-throbbing. There are two types of cluster headaches, episodic and chronic. This type of cluster headaches have clearly defined groups of headache attacks.
