- A migraine can completely alter your day, but these products may provide relief when you need it - fast.
- Our top pick for migraine relief is the Headache Hat, a versatile and effective blind-fold-like wrap that aims to offer prompt pain relief through compression and cool temperatures.
Migraines always seem to hit at the worst possible time, instantly changing your plans and requiring you to lie down in a dark, quiet place. Unfortunately, that isn't always possible when you're at work, have family obligations, or can't otherwise spend your entire day in bed. When a migraine strikes, you need effective pain relief quickly.
I've had chronic migraines for over a decade, and their frequency has forced me to find creative ways to relieve the pain. Pain medication takes some time to work, so I've tried countless products designed to provide fast-acting relief. My favorites are included in this list, and can all be used in conjunction with your traditional pain medication.
These migraine relief products can soothe, comfort, and help to dull the debilitating pain of a migraine. Many of them are small enough to store in your pocket or in a desk drawer. Some of them are easily portable, so your day doesn't have to come to a halt just because you're dealing with a migraine.
Here are the best migraine relief products:
- Best migraine relief product overall: Headache Hat
- Best for on-the-go migraine relief: MigraSoothe Roll-On
- Best for hot and cold therapy: Bed Buddy Hot/Cold Pack
- Best for fast migraine relief: WellPatch Cooling Headache Pads
