Abstract

45 patients with migraine or migraine plus chronic daily headache evaluated the effectiveness of a coldwrap for headache relief. 35.5% judged it not effective, 29% judged it mildly effective, 26.5% found it moderately effective, and 9% judged it completely effective. Previous studies on ice treatment for headache are reviewed.
