Migraine is “more than just a headache.” What do you do when a migraine hits you? Probably run for ice to dull the pain? Some people fashion their cold compress by putting ice into plastic bags while others may apply a frozen gel pack over their heads. All this requires a little more effort – which might not be possible when we are brain fogged.
The impending mess also adds to the agony! Sometimes, you wake up to a soaking wet bed if the plastic bursts.
How Does A Migraine Hat Work?
A migraine hat or a band is a handsfree and soft adjustable band that wraps around your head. The ice gel pack is placed inside the band – which is also long enough to cover your head. It is adjustable, which means you can loosen or tighten it to target the pressure points. The cold and compressing therapy provided by the migraine caps has a numbing effect that helps reduce pain sensation.
As already discussed, the hassles with DIY ice hats are many. Another major problem with the DIY ice packs is that they obstruct fingertip compression. It claims to solve this issue by allowing you to adjust the level of compression. If you have responded well to cold or compression therapy in the past, you have reasonably good reasons to try the migraine hat. We resort to a lot of home remedies to get rid of that throbbing or pulsing pain.
