Recommended for migraine relief August 24, 2010

I have struggled with migraine attacks for years. These cooling patches have helped me a lot. They help lessen the severity of the pain and help me to sleep better. I have noticed that my attacks haven't lasted as long since I've started using them. I also don't usually have to take painkillers for as long. In my case, I find that the patches are really only cool enough to be effective for 3 to 4 hours. They still feel cool at that point, but not nearly as cool as a new one, and it's worth changing it to me.
I also have very sensitive/allergic skin, and I was worried that these patches might bother my skin. They do-- it's around the edges of the patch that my skin gets irritated, not underneath the sticky part of the patch itself. I have to leave the patches off for awhile or my skin gets too itchy.
Another thing I would like to mention is the smell, since I am also allergic to many scented products. Unfortunately, these patches are scented. They are "lightly scented" with menthol and lavender oil, and I do NOT like the scent. It bothers me, but not so much that I can't use the patch.
If you have struggled with migraines and their various symptoms, I would recommend that you try these cooling patches. They won't make the migraine go away, but they will help you feel better and sleep better while it's there.
This product is a MUST for people with tension headaches July 6, 2010
K. Harkins (Washington DC area, USA)
If your headache is really really severe--then, no, the pain won't completely go away. But it can take the edge off the worst headaches and can even eliminate the pain for more mild headaches.
If you don't refrigerate it, then yes it can take a few minutes for the "cold" sensation to build up (and if you are really hot, or in real pain, or both then you might still not feel it). But if you want it to feel really cold instantly, then refrigerate it. I usually keep a couple of boxes in the refrigerator, and a stack of boxes near the kitchen ready to be popped into the refrigerator.
I have had very frequent tension headaches (many each month) for my entire life. But NONE of the over the counter medications seem to do anything for my headaches. Discovering these migraine pads and also the "HeadOn" headache relief pain sticks (that you can rub onto your forehead) have been a godsend because these are basically the only things (aside from ice packs) that actually do anything for my headaches. I usually use painsticks during the day, especially if I'm at the office or some other environment where I would feel weird sticking a big pad onto my forehead. The painsticks are more discreet. But I use the migraine pads all the time at home, especially when I'm about to go to bed and don't want to have to deal with messy icepacks or other cumbersome solutions. They still feel mildly cool by morning, unless it's especially hot or something.
I agree with the reviewer who cautions against removing a pad too early. Sometimes it may feel like the pain is gone, but then you take the pad off and the pain comes right back within a few minutes.
Just last week I finally got prescribed a pill that my doctor and I are hoping might help prevent my headaches from starting in the first place. But even assuming it will work, it will take a few weeks before the medication builds up enough in my system to benefit me. I'm glad to have these until then. And if I continue to get headaches (though I hope the medication will at least reduce their severity) then I'll be glad to have these on hand.

These work August 12, 2009

My wife has found that these are the only things that consistently work when she gets headaches. She cuts them into strips and applies as a bridge above her nose. Sure looks funny but she swears by them.
Great for headaches and fevers August 7, 2009

I have been buying these headache pads for a long time. Before this, I bought something called "Migraine Ice Pads", but they are no longer around.
Here's how they work - there are two forehead sized pads in each sealed enclosure. There are two enclosures per box. You can reseal any individual enclosure, so you could have 4 different headache pads with each box.
But this is what I do for maximum affect - I take one of the pads and clip off a teeny bit of each corner and put that one on my forehead (otherwise it adheres to my hair which isn't good.) I take the second pad, and cut it in half and place those on my temples (with another tiny cutout to avoid my eyes.) And I lay down and let them help relieve the pain.
If you have a migraine or tension headache, these pads will work for a couple of hours. At least for me, it's not that much more than that, but it's enough time to allow you to rest and/or fall asleep. And they do get cold, really cold, although it takes around 5- 10 minutes. (So don't be disappointed when you first put them on and they are merely cool to the touch.)
I also have autoimmune problems, and often get fevers. These pads are wonderful for that, and they cool and comfort you. The only problem is that with a fever, they really don't stay cold very long at all, but again, they're wonderful while it lasts. What a comfort if you have the flu!
It's true that these are pretty expensive, but all the pads like this are. Do know that they really work, and that when are in the midst of a headache, they are a godsend.
Highly recommended. I've been using them for years. Excellent to use on kids, too.
 Cooling action retards pain April 27, 2009
John Lusk
My wife has occasional migraine headaches which pretty much put her down for the length of time she deals with them. She was given a couple of packets of WellPatch from a friend and tried them with good results. The continuous cooling action retards the pain and offers quite a bit of comfort. While her situation is not chronic, this may be worth trying especially if you are looking for something without drugs to interact with what you may already be taking. We purchased a good supply of them for the future as needed.
