Can oxygen work for other headaches?

I'm amazed at how well O2 has been working for me the last few days, and was wondering if it would work for other types of headaches, like migraines? For me personally it would be nice to be able to treat migraines with something other than trip drugs when I'm trying to get pg and while I am pg. I don't know if it would work at all, but those drugs can cause horrible birth defects so you have to deal. Admittedly its much easier to deal with a migraine than a CH (duh!) but it would be nice for it to go away nonetheless.
Also I was thinking about my husbands aunt. She's had headaches for a life time I think and is addicted to all kinds of pain meds and does the typical thing, like call a dentists office and say she's in horrible pain at the end of the day, and makes an "appointment" for the next day and asks for a perscription to be called in, then never comes in for her appointment. She's been in and out of rehab and headache clinics. I don't know her whole history nor have I talked to her about her headaches, but I know she has major problems. I wonder if o2 might work for her pain. Weaning her from the drugs is another story, but it might help her with pain. I have no idea if she has CH's or if its migraines or something else.
Anyone have experience with the use of oxygen on anything other than a CH?

Hearing is one thing. Listening is another.

Yes, 02 works for Migraines
I have tried it when I had an ordinary old tension HA and it didn't do squat though.

Gonna take a breath and try again.

My husband has tried oxygen on tension headaches and it does not work. So many people in the medical profession are surprised to learn about the cluster oxygen link, I believe it is unique. sorry
