Back in the mid-late 1990’s, I used a product called MIGRAINE ICE. It had menthol, came in a foil pouch and did what this did – adhere to forehead. I knew going in these didn’t have menthol which I’ve found to be effective in pain relief as well as relaxation. The problem is these just do not work – period. As others have said – adhesive issues. In addition, they don’t get that cold, and they just didn’t do anything for relief. I do better with two (2) Tylenol or Excedrin and a 2-hour nap. While they’re $5 and fairly reasonable – not for me.

This is a great idea but I was left wanting a bit more. I was very excited when I seen these because there are many days that I just wish I could have an icepack on my head while I try and get through the workday. I received these and luckily didn't have a need for it for quite some time. Then one day, the need was there. I broke these out to try them. The patch itself is made of gel but feels a bit slimy. I stuck one on the back of my neck just below my hairline and the corners kept peeling away. I felt like I was using way more time trying to keep it stuck to me and it became more of a pain. I also expected these to get very cool, similar to a biofreeze or icy hot but they never got that cool. Maybe it will work for others but I am over it. I will go back to my trusty ice packs.

These migraine patches are so easy to use. My husband put the package in his nightstand for easy access when he has a migraine. You simply remove the plastic backing and stick the patch on your forehead. It instantly gives you a cooling sensation that helps alleviate migraine pain. The patch is a rectangle it goes across your whole forehead. Cooling effect is felt for about 20 minutes, it’s gets weaker as time goes on. These don’t have any scent which is really nice. It can’t “cure” the migraine for my husband but it makes him feel much more comfortable and it’s convenient vs the freezer headband things that you have to remember to return to the freezer!

It does not stick to your skin, even for five seconds it’s already lifting at the edges held it there, It didn’t help me at all

Easy to apply on forehead. The adhesion is good as it stays put and doesn't fall off. It has a nice cooling effect. It definitely helped provide some relief from my migraine, but did not get rid of it.
