Migraine Relief Cap by Carethetic - Hot & Cold Therapy Hat, Ergonomic Gel Ice Cap for Migraines, Stress & Puffy Eyes, Universal Fit (Deep Blue)

Excellent. I just wished they stayed cold longer

You do NOT have to put this in the freezer or fridge for it to be cool! I keep it on my bed and when I start a hot flash in the night I grab it and put it on, it is always nice and cold even if it's only been 10 minutes.

Migraine Relief Cap, Headache Relief Hat for Migraine - Carethetic Migraine Ice Head Wrap, Flexible Gel Ice Cap with Cold & Hot Therapy for Tension, Puffy Eyes, Sinus & Stress Relief (Light Blue)I've used caps like this before and expected the ice pack to go around the entire head. It's only in the front. The back is just stretchy material. That works well if I have a need for the cold in the front, but not if it's all around and I need it in both places, which is often the case. I don't intend to use this for hot therapy, only cold. Otherwise, the material feels good and it does work well on the one side.

This is an amazing cap. It fits very comfortably around my face and head. The front is the gel area and the back side is made of a stretchy material. I really didn't think this would be much better than just putting a warm or cold compress on my face, but I was wrong.The gel seems to mold itself to my face making it feel so warm. I heated the cap for 20 seconds on Medium Power in the microwave and that made it a very comfortable warmth. The warmth lasted for close to 30 minutes.When I received the cap, it had been out in the delivery truck for many hours, so it was very cold. The cold gel lasted over 30 minutes, closer to 45 minutes.For me, I prefer a warm compress for migraines, and I know this will work much better than trying to keep towels damp and warm. I can't attest to how well the cold will work, as that is something I don't believe I would need. But at least that option is there if I do need it someday.Besides just using it as a cap, I can see many other uses, on a knee, an arm, elbow, wherever. It isn't wet and drippy so can be used practically anywhere there is pain.This is a good helpful item to have around.

I regularly get severe headaches, and had never tried a cooling mask until I purchased this mask. (I had tried wash clothes and ice packs, but then I would become annoyed with the sweating ice packs and the soggy wash cloth). This solves both of those problems… the material is very stretchy, so it provides light pressure on your head, and the gel in the mask provides long lasting cooling. I’ve found that keeping it I the refrigerator is the best was to keep it ready to go, but not keeping it “too cool” for my personal tastes. The gel pad is pretty thick, and the material has retained its form over many uses. My only complaint is that it is not really adjustable. While it fits me almost perfectly, a larger person may feel like the mask is too tight… still, it’s 5 stars for my purpose, especially for the price, this mask now goes everywhere when I travel.

I do not get too many headaches but when I do they are pretty bad sinus headaches. I was happy to get this product and hoped that it would help and it definitely does. Coincidentally, the day that I received the headache cap I got an awful sinus headache. It was so bad that I didn't even bother to heat or cool the wrap and just put it on. It was amazing. The wrap is naturally cool and while it didn't get rid of my headache completely, I felt a lot of relief.It should be noted that I am a 5'2 female with what I think is an average sized head. The wrap fit well. I think if your head is on the larger side this might be tight - but then again that might really help your headache!

I've suffered from migraines for over 30 years now and, for the most part, I can just tough it out and deal with it. Occasionally, I still get a migraine that knocks me down for a day. Unfortunately, I've also passed them on to my teen daughter. When I first saw this cap, I thought it was a great idea and why not try it? Just the other day, I saw my daughter lying on her bed with her head covered by a pillow - she had a migraine and was trying to block the light. I went and got the migraine cap for her and it helped!!! She wore it for about 15 minutes and said the combination of blocking the light, the cooling effect of the gel, and the gentle compression of the cap itself was soothing. I will definitely be reaching for this myself the next time a bad migraine comes on.

I was excited to receive this as I've tried many things to help ease my pain during frequent headaches and migraines. This comes with it's own storage bag and clear instructions for use.This cap can be used both warmed or cooled. My personal preference for headache relief is coolness, and that is how I used each time. To wear heated, it should be placed in the microwave until desired temperature. There is a thick gel inside that immediately provides a cooling effect, even when using at room temperature (though it can be put in the freezer for up to 30min, per instructions).There is a good amount of stretch, though I do have to wear with my hair down, as it will not stretch enough to fit over a pony tail. There's a firm but comfortable fit. I find it easy and comfortable to wear. When I have tested it's efficiency, I did not take pain reliever, and found that my headaches alleviate while wearing. There is still a dull pain after use, though significantly less, allowing me to get through my day.I do wish the covering was removable and washable. I wear makeup daily and don't like that I can't clean it off completely.
