This graphic illustrates the Trigeminal
Nerve.
This nerve has three branches, one which goes to the forehead and eye,
one which goes to the cheek and one which goes to the lower face and
jaw. During a cluster headache, the trigeminal nerve is
activated, causing pain along one or more of it's three branches,
usually along the one leading to the eye and forehead. This
accounts for the centering of the pain of CH around the eye.

Disclaimer
Neither
Richard Falconi's book "Cluster Cure" nor his website, 'Clusterheadachecure.com'
have the support or endorsement of OUCH. The website and book's
title mislead the reader that a 'Cure' is provided in the pages of this
book. It is known in the medical community that there is currently
no known 'cure' for cluster headaches. We
find that all currently available information on the 'treatments' of
cluster headaches is available through 'free' information sites such as
OUCH-US.org; Clusterheadaches.com,
Cluster Headache Help
and many others. We feel that individuals would waste their money in
purchasing Falconi's book or any other book promising a cure for cluster
headache.
