I bought this in July 2016, thinking it would be a fantastic use of a gift card. Once I got it, I set it up, stuck it in the freezer, and left it there until today. The thing is, when I have a migraine, even the slightest pressure on my head causes the pain to explode. It's like a bomb going off in my head, and has been known to cause loss of consciousness. I can't even lie down on my soft pillow.
Today, I found the need to be somewhat functional so I can keep an eye on a sick dog, and none of my rescue meds have worked. So I thought, why not try the migraine hat? I'm now quite annoyed with myself for not trying it before now, because even though the hat is worn by strapping it around the head with Velcro it's still incredibly light. There is a tiny bit of pressure, but that's far outweighed by the cold sensation.
As to how effective this hat is? I'm sitting upright, looking at a computer screen, and typing a coherent product review right now. With a migraine. I still wouldn't try to do any serious work that requires concentration, but the fact that I have even this small capacity mid-migraine has blown my mind. If you suffer from migraines - especially frequently - or know someone who does, I highly recommend this product as a way to get by.
the person that designed this must suffer from migraines. For the folks saying it wasn't cold enough, you have the option to flip the fleece out. It's colder with just the fabric. Also, I'm going to see if I can order more of the ice packs. It would be colder with 2 in there at a time. with the cap piece on top, I could also lay something cold on top. This isn't a cure-all. It is meant to be exactly what it is. It's a way for you to have a cold pack on your head and have both hands free to do something. Better than laying in bed, holding an ice pack. I am thrilled, and wearing it at the moment.
I love this hat. I am a person that has been suffering from stress induced/ sensitive to smells migraines(best as I can describe) since 2004. I am in love with product. The pack makes the hat cold so it numbs your temples, forehead, back of your cranium. I fall asleep with it, that is how comfy it is. It is also an adorable hat. Everyone at works compliments me on it then I tell them what it is and they are suprised that is kinda is stylish. It comes with 2 ice packs so when one melts you can grab the other and replace it it also freezes pretty quick.. The hat has velcro on one side so it is very adjustable and will fit any head size . It comes with a little black carrier which is great. Very very worth the price. I will be purchasing another to keep at work.
My Godmother found an article on this item in a magazine she was reading and sent me the article so I could research further. I've suffered from migraines since I was 14 (I'm now 43). I've sought every type of therapy-homeopathic, neuro, Rxs, injections, etc., etc.).
I figured I couldn't pass this up as the price is very reasonable and they supply you with a backup ice pack. I think this is fantastic as I typically need ice repeatedly for hours.
This product's design takes comfort into account more so than most other products I've tried. I used this yesterday for the 1st time and it was a very helpful tool. I'd be lying if I said it eliminated it, but it certainly eased the intensity and duration of my migraine. I highly recommend giving this product a try! It's worth every penny and is a comfortable ice relief without giving you a "brain freeze!"
Another tip for migraneurs...use this item on your head while using heat (a heating pad, foot bath, or some form of heat) on your feet and you might find additional relief as I have, with combined hot and cold therapy. Best of luck to those suffering chronically like me. It's tough when others in your life have never experienced them and have no idea how damaging they can be to your mind, your body and tie life!
This was purchased for my girlfriend's migraine headaches, and she likes it a lot. This may be the first thing in 10 years that's really helped alleviate the pain having tried pills after pills that really didn't help her headaches. Going by what she's said about this Migraine Hat, I'd say give it a try...

Description
Migraine Hat - Wearable Ice Hat To Reduce Migraine Headache Pain
The Migraine Hat is an ingenious new product for people who suffer from the debilitating pain of migraine. Ice and compression have long been known to bring soothing relief to migraine pain, and the clever design actually looks like a real wrap or hat! The Migraine Hat can get the sufferer out of a dark room, lying on a dripping ice pack or cold compress and back into the world engaging with family, friends, and work. The clever design, comfy fabric, and light weight makes it ideal. Comes with two ice packs to switch off so you can use the hat continuously.
I just don't know if I could ever go without my migraine hat. The day I received it I had another migraine. Froze the freezer packs and used it. The very best thing about this hat is that I can function and do things with a migraine. Without it, I am stuck in bed, in a dark quiet room, with my head and eyes thumping.
I love this hat. It looks kind of dumb but who cares. I have had company and have worn it with them here. Of course they asked, "Does that thing really help?" And my answer was this hat allows me to sit here and talk to you, craft, clean up, and live. Without it I am stuck in a dark room for the day and have wasted another day.
I love my migraine hat.
I have a migraine medicine I take in the mornings when I have symptoms. However because of the high caffeine content I can't take it in the middle of the night. This hat has been a life saver! Some times my migraines start at 2 or 3:00 in the morning. And I assemble this quickly and I can go back to sleep. Sometimes I need the 2nd pack of ice. But then I can quickly go back to sleep again. I need find out how to buy a few extra packs to of ice. The ice last half an hour to an hour depending on temperature in the room. On rare occasions I need to have another set of ice (3 rounds). I highly recommend this period it's comfortable and easy
I have chronic daily migraine and this product has allowed me to stay at work and stay productive. It helps with dizziness and the migraine. I have worn it thru meetings when I had to push thru and the meds just weren't working. I keep it at work but I am thinking about getting one for home use as well.
I love that there are no markings so I can wear it in public without it being TOO obvious that I am ill. I've had people tell me it looks like a normal winter hat (which is a bit weird in June).
I just wish it came down a bit farther on the neck, but I guess then it would be a hat :).
I wear it without the top piece because I can't really figure it out, especially when I have a migraine.
I also like that you can unvelcro it and put it on your neck or wherever.
I highly recommend this product.
This is an AWESOME PRODUCT. I have suffered from migraines and chronic daily headaches for many years. This product lets me at least be able to function some while I am having a headache. I don't have to just lie down with ice on my head, I can move around a do a few small things. This is an enormous accomplishment for someone with chronic pain. The ice pack stays cold for about an hour, and it comes with two so you can switch them out. It is fully adjustable, so you can wrap it as loosely or as tight as you want it, or pull it down to cover your eyes if you need to. It even has a little cap for the top to make it look like a real hat if you want to wear it out and about. I highly recommend this product. It has truly changed my life.
I was careful not to get my hopes up too much, but it's actually really cool (pun only slightly intended)! It is very adjustable, has a removable middle part, and even has a second ice pack so you can always have a cold one!
Another huge plus is the bag it comes with for storing it; the bag made of is silky fabric with a drawstring and easily fits everything in it- nothing gets lost or dirty in the freezer!
This is definitely worth purchasing. In fact, my dad also has migraines and is thinking of getting one of these for himself after trying mine!
