My Neuro told me to do the same thing years ago...apply the cream to a Q-tip and put it in the nostril, on your headache side, as far back as you can go. I did try it out of desperation...ONCE. It did nothing for my cluster attack, only made my nostril burn, right along with the burning already behind my eye! The pain of a cluster is unbearable by itself...don't need anymore pain to go with it!
