Theramed Cold Headache Band

ممتازة وباردة

I played in a summer ball hockey league indoors and it was incredibly hot inside the arena in August, these things worn under my goalie mask were an absolute life saver. I also used this to ease the pain of a knee injury I had.

Sufro de migrañas muy fuertes y esta banda cuando me la ponga, ayuda a mitigar el dolor. No quema a la piel. Yo lo dejo siempre en el refri para usarlo cuando lo necesito. Está bastante resistente.

This band has been a godsend. I have suffered from both sinus headaches and migraines for well over 20 years. I used to wear one of those old school gel masks that covered your eyes and attached with a strap in the back. The problem with those is that the gel moved all around, the plastic was not at all comfortable and getting a tight fit was difficult. Additionally, depending on the location of pain, using it effectively anyway other than how it was designed was very difficult. I am also no stranger to using a bag of frozen peas for relief. I stumbled onto this product by accident while browsing Amazon and placed an order immediately. My headaches are unpredictable and I wanted to have this ready to go when the next one struck. Popped it into the freezer and waited. The first thing that impressed me is because of the design it is easy to lay flat in the freezer whereas the masks I used in the past seemed to bunch up and be uneven. This is one of those products that you hope you do not need right away, but alas, I first used it a few days later. When suffering from a migraine, I have pain both behind my right eye and at the base of my skull on the same side. Like someone it trying to pull a string through my head. I was able to angle the band so that it covered both areas at the same time, again something I was not able to do with previous products. The added advantage is that I was able to adjust the tightness of the band and counter pressure definitely helps me. I used the blue side against my skin first and then switched to the white side. The white side is considerable colder which gives you some options depending on your needs. The band stays cold for about 30 minutes. The only negative I have to offer is that I wish it remained cold for longer. 30 minutes was enough to provide relief, along with medication, but not long enough to wait out the headache. And, really, sometimes all you can do is wait it out. I will probably invest in one more band so that I can switch out and have more continuous coverage. It takes about 30-60 minutes to freeze again when needed. Although designed for headaches, I see potential use as a general ice pack in a pinch. It is long enough to be wrapped around a wrist or ankle at least twice in case of a strain or sprain.

While it was a lovely cold ring, It melts so quickly and drips all over me. None of my other migraine packs drip... not worth it. It says to turn it the other way for more cold but when it thaws its already warm. No point having a warm ring on my head.... Updated. I started using it again recently as a backup. Now the ring has split open with very few uses and is leaking a white gel. 8march23
