In search of better cold therapy

Cold therapy has proven itself as an effective migraine treatment.  But there are many different types of cold therapy, and some work for some people, and some don’t.

When you’re dealing with a headache or migraine, you want something that’s going to cool you just the right amount, and something that’s going to cool certain parts of your head and neck.  Traditional cold packs run into a number of problems.  The temperature is hard to control, they tend to fall off, and they don’t last very long.  One partial solution has been the popular Migra-Cap, which comfortably covers more of the head.

In an attempt to solve more problems associated with cold therapy, the Neuro-Cool system was developed.  Now wait, before you read on, you need to realize, this is not an ice pack.  This is a complete cooling and light massaging system, designed for people with chronic pain like migraine.  It’s not the cheap solution.  But as migraineurs know, if it’s really going to work, at times the price tag is worth it.

The advantages?  The temperature can be controlled, and can last up to 20 hours (no more 20 minutes of relief).  It provides a liquid thermal massage, and covers your head and neck in a soft coolness.

If you already know from experience that cold therapy works for you, but you’ve had limited success getting something that will work well for you, this may be something to try.  If you have trouble sleeping, rather than giving you more to worry about this unit will likely help put you to sleep naturally.
