Ice hat. Ice pack goes in this "hat" and it encompasses your head and eyes with gentle pressure and numbing cold.
I wish you luck with the Botox injections it might work for you. I got them and it made my pain a 100 percent worse. My pain management Doctor is still trying to get my medicine right I will pray đđđ that it works for you if you want to can you please share your experience with me

I feel sumatriptan nasal spray (prescription) works pretty well if you can take it before the migraine gets sets in.

Imitrex injections or the tablets was a little bit relief for me before I go to ER

Ice packs help me a lot. There are even specialized ones for Migraines. The one I have is called âHeadache Hatâ (I think I purchased on Amazon). Another I readily know the name of is called âIce Kapâ. However, if you search âHeadache Hatâ or âHeadache Ice Packâ on Amazon, for instance, many other similar options pop up. Also, I have personally found âGoodyâs Headache Powderâ (Ingredients almost (?) identical to Excedrin) to act faster & better than Excedrin. Also, if one takes Excedrin & other fast-acting otc painkillers (such as Ibuprofen, Tylenol, etc) too often for migraine headaches, these are more likely to cause âreboundâ headaches/migraines as opposed to the longer acting type, like Aleve (Naproxen). Best of luck to you!
I get migraines so bad I get physically ill. I find thc/cbd calms mine then when nausea control some coffee and heat and ice. And rub my infused salve I make in.
Imitrex has been my godsend for 30 years. Almost always going away within sn hour and gone shortly after. Before it was available, i had not found anything that relieved the pain. Some things like ice, keeping still, avoiding temp/sound/light changes. Here's one odd thing that helps, but i use it with imitrex as speeds relief (15 min vs 1 hour). 2 Excedrin and several gulps from a fresh can of Mt. Dew (lots of bubbles, tickles inside my ears) and excelerates the caffeine in the Excedrin.
Hi, cold compresses on your neck. That works for me!
