I have chronic migraines and this cap has helped immensly. I put a hand towel on my head before I put the cap on because the cap is so cold, but it relieves the pain so well. I haven’t found anything else that covers my whole head live this does. I use it with an eye mask for total relief while waiting for my meds to kick in. Trust me. If you suffer from migraines this is well worth the money. Just remember to put a towel on your head before applying the cap; otherwise it will be too cold.
I love this thing. It gets really cold...actually so cold I have to put some cloth (socks) around my ears for the first ten minutes so they don't freeze off! I'm a medium-sized woman and the cap is a little large for my head, but I make it work. It's really nice for when I have migraines as I find something really cold surrounding my head and neck area seems to help a little. I usually wear it at night in bed. It is comfortable; nothing scratchy on it except the velcro strap, which I don't use unless I'm going to toss and turn. The cold lasts at least 20 minutes, but I often fall asleep before it stops working.
Even with the flaws, however, I'm glad that I got it. To wrap an icepack around my whole head when I have a migraine is bliss.
I got the L/XL size - I don't know how big my head is, but at the store, women's hats are usually too small. The cap fits well but the strap is too short and angled down instead of across. Worse, it scratches and pokes at my neck, especially where it's sewn to the cap. I don't know if the angle is a flaw with all of them or just mine (the scratching is clearly all of them) and these can't be returned, so I'll just have to find a way to alter it myself.
I'm a regular migraine sufferer and this is glorious! The cold lasts 15-25 minutes, which is the right time period for a cold pack. Would like to reapply but it's really most effective for the initial application only. Applying this at the beginning of a migraine brings instant relief for me...not 100%, but it's wonderful. The challenge with this is that if it is ever stored or placed in the freezer and is not completely flat the gel clumps up inside the ice pack and it becomes useless for it's intended purpose. The manufacturer should really find a way to bond the gel to the fabric. Also, the velcro grabs the fabric and frays it out. I love what it does, don't love the practical lifecycle/quality of the product.
Cap gets an A+ plus. However, my head wasnt as big as I thought so I have to return mine. Go to website of manufacturer and see how to measure your head b4 you order.

Description
Uniquely designed to fit the head and facial areas to assure complete contact. Ideal for Relief of minor soft tissue injuries of the head, face and jaw. May be cooled for use in reducing swelling and heated to stimulate blood flow.
I bought this for headaches and gave it 4 stars because the gel inside stays cold maybe 20-30 minutes. It does cover the TMJ area on me. I keep it in the freezer, it's a nice solid weight and no tears after using 2 months. Seems like the negative reviews are mostly that it doesn't help prevent hair loss during chemo?
Really works. Stays cold for 20 minutes. Full coverage. Definitely has weight to it so you will want to be laying down or sitting back in a chair. Great quality.
This mask really comes in handy for migraines. Companion this with the Gel Mask and it's the perfect combination for a bad headache. They last about 30 to 45 minutes or so with that "cold cold" feeling but long enough for the pain pill to kick in. I definately recommend this for Migraine sufferers and those bad allergy headaches.
These two Cranial Caps cost less here then from the manufacturer! They work great! My friend has severe migraines , and these help tremendously:) I recommend buying two, if you can, as one can be worn while the other gets cold again in the freezer! NOTE11 Kepp these in their provided covers, and then wrap them in a large trash bag when in the freezer; this will prevent them from absorbing any odors from other items in the freezer! FIVE STARS HERE, PERIOD! :)
love this cap put it on and the cool feeling is so nice on my head am dealing with hair loos due to cancer and this cap is helping me to keep most of my hair not all but most
