 Relief for Mild Migraines May 04, 2007
By Michelle K. Lange
I've been a migraine sufferer for over ten years, and only recently discovered how extremely helpful it is to have an ice pack on my head to dull some of the pain. Since most ice packs are bulky and uncomfortable for use on the head, I thought this would be a much better option. It is extremely comfortable and easy-to-use, but simply does not get cold enough for my taste. (Then again, I get very severe migraines that are resistant to most medicine and ice packs, even in combination) Layering two of them on top of each other is a simple way to keep the cold for a longer period of time, and is still quite comfortable. I do really appreciate the fact that I can walk around and function while wearing these during some of my less severe migraines. If you get mild to moderate migraines they might help you quite a bit- but I would recommend buying at least three so you can rotate them in and out of the freezer when they become too warm, which is usually within a half an hour. Be careful about sleeping with them on, because they will warm up through the night and when you wake up will have reached your body temperature and could easily make a migraine much worse! If your migraines are more severe like mine are, a ziplock bag with ice water is a simple way to get extreme cold. You can't walk around with it on your head, but who wants to walk around with a severe migraine anyway? I also use the elasto-gel cap to hold a colder ice pack in place sometimes, which looks pretty ridiculous but works extremely well and stays cold for longer. I hope this informations helps, because I understand how desperate a migraine sufferer needs relief! Good luck!

relief for migraines or tension headaches Jul 19, 2008
By L. A.
This product is great for migraine or tension headaches. When i had a bad migraine, I would take a pain reliever, pull this out of the freezer, put it on, and lay down for a nap. By the time I woke up, the pain would be mostly gone. I would have rated this five stars except it doesn't stay cold for more than about 30 minutes. But you can put an extra gel cold pack inside to keep it colder longer. But, you are not supposed to keep cold on for longer than 20 minutes at a time anyway. It is really not a flaw, just my preference. The other thing, this cap can feel kind of weird on your head with the strap under your chin and on your neck. If you have a really bad migraine and are nauseated, i would not suggest walking around with this on because it could aggravate your nausea by irritating your throat and make you gag. But, when you have a migraine, I would think that you'd be pretty much laying down anyway. I learned to just put it on when I get into bed and problem is resolved. I do recommend this product as it really does help relieve headaches and also tooth or facial/trigeminal neuralgia pain.

 using this product for a migraine Oct 20, 2008
By R. Jacchia
If you are buying this product to relieve migraine pain please save your money.The cranial cap is ineffective and non-refundable. It does not mold to the head and it only stays cold for ten minutes. I would reccomend buying a rectangular ice-pack, hard or soft, from CVS or other such retailer. Take the rectangular icepack and drape it over the top of your head. Then fasten it in place with a long sleeve t-shirt wrapped turban style around your head.

I suffered from a Internal Carotid Artery Dissection and a Internal Vertebral Artery Dissection and suffered excruciating head and neck pain. This Cranial Cap was my best friend during the most painful period in my life! I ordered 2 so that I would always have one cold. To have something that covers your ENTIRE head AND neck- no words!! Just what someone needs who suffers from this type of injury. Of course, I always wished it stayed cold a little longer but it did stay cold long enough to bring relief.... having something to wrap around my entire head and neck was amazing! I also ordered the Elasto gel Hot/Cold Sinus Mask and used it cold across my forhead and eyes 1. because it felt heavenly and 2. because it helped to keep the cranial cap in place (it was a little big for my head :) I still use these products when I get reoccurring headaches- couldn't live without them !!!!! )Elasto-Gel Sinus Mask 9" x 3.5" SM301Elasto-Gel Sinus Mask 9" x 3.5" SM301

 Doesn't get as cold as I would like May 24, 2008
By curl girl
Still, it's more than nice to be able to move about while nursing a headache. I second a previous reviewer: you can add a second gel pack underneath this one if you need more chill factor.
