2 Pack Migraine Relief Ice Head Wrap Headache and Migraine Hat | Cold Gel Head Ice Pack with Face and Eye Mask Compress for Cooling Migraine Relief - FSA HSA Eligible Items

I suffer frequent migraines and have been using an eye mask and cold wash clothes on my head. I came across this little gem when trying to spend my HSA dollars. It arrived quickly and I was excited at the quality of it. I put it in the freezer right away. Christmas was right around the corner and I knew I would be trying it out this bad boy soon. Today is December 26th and I started having all the tell tale signs of a migraine 2 hours into my work day. Luckily, working from home I was eager to bust out my new headgear and lay down over lunch. I got my favorite soft throw blanket and my mask and prepared for relief. I slipped the mask on and the cooling sensation was immediate, all light was blocked out.About 20 seconds later I experienced what can only be described as the worst brain freeze in history. If that mask was a mountain there would be unrecoverable bodies littering its peaks. My eyes felt the pressure of all life’s horrors. My lips chapped and my toes turned purple. My sphincter sucked up into my abdomen and my fallopian tabes retreated to the center of where my uterus once stood. I’m pretty sure evolution will make sure my grandchildren’s grandchildren will be born with a hide so thick, midwives and doctors will faint upon their arrival into this world. I would strongly suggest letting this mask warm up about 50 degrees before use. I’m going to try again after work. Wish me luck.**Update**After the mask warmed up for a few hours it was perfect. Next time I’ll just throw it in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Funciono al 100%, pero luego de tenerlo por mas de 5 horas en el congelador esta muy frio, algo que es logico pero queria hacerlo saber

it is a little HEAVY.

Love this for the headache or anything else with my head, no one complain about this.

Fantastic product works fantastically love it

Good quality nice pressure in love

I purchased in hopes of relieving my headache and to avoid the use of OTC. Regular ice packs felt good but wouldn’t stay in place or cover the full area. I have used both the heat and cold compression it hasn't helped me much. And when it does help, the moment I take it off, it is right back to square one.The cap is comfortable and fits great though. I am able to walk around and do things while it is on so that is a plus I guess. It almost has the effect of a weighted blanket which I liked.

I purchased this in a desperate attempt to relieve the crushing 24/7 concussion headache at the base of my skull and around both sides of the back of my head. My neurologist directed me to stop taking OTC meds and I can’t tolerate the usual RX options. Regular ice packs felt good but wouldn’t stay in place or cover the full area. They were also crunchy and didn’t maintain the right temperature. The heating pad didn’t mold to my head, had wires to deal with and keeps me stuck lying in bed.Then I remembered these warm/cold caps from previous research for my regular chronic headaches around my eyes and forehead. Decided to give it a shot!Because it’s been hot here, I have only used the cold so far and LOVE IT! It has helped the concussion headache so much. The effect doesn’t last too long once I take it off, but at least I can get a couple hours of relief at a time which is glorious. It’s extremely comfortable, molds perfectly to my head, has the exact right level of coolness, and I can walk around and do my thing while it’s on. I want to wear it all the time, it’s that good! If I need to sit and rest my eyes from the very, very bright concussion light, I can pull it down over my eyes for black-out, coolness and light pressure.The warm/cold is all the way around the head except for a small area at the crown which is just fabric. There isn’t a ponytail hole that other products have. It is very, very soft - both the fabric itself and the padding with the gel inside, not crunchy or stiff like other reusable ice packs. It completely molds to your head, but not in a tight, constricting way (I have a big head for a woman, lots of hair and most regular hats are too tight for me). The cap is heavier than you’d think, which I think makes it even more comfortable and soothing. There’s a bit of a weighted blanket effect, and the cold/pressure combo is a good sensory tool for me.It’s ready to wear after 45-60 minutes in the freezer and will last up to 2 hours, with less coolness for another hour (meaning not cold to the touch, but kind of like a cool pillowcase).I immediately ordered a second one so I can rotate in/out of the freezer, a third one for my sister who has chronic migraines to try, and recommended it to all my friends who struggle with headaches AND those who use ice on the head or cold water on hands as a sensory interruptor for themselves or their neurodivergent kids to re-regulate in moments of high stress.Clearly, I HIGHLY recommend it and the price point is great!
