Lifestyle
Dark, Quiet Room + Cold Compress
for Migraine
Resting in a dark, quiet room with a cold compress on the forehead or neck is the most widely used non-pharmacological approach during an acute migraine.
How it works
Reduces sensory stimulation that amplifies migraine pain via central sensitisation. Cold stimulates cold receptors and may partially inhibit pain signalling.
What to watch for
Does not treat the underlying migraine — primarily symptom management. Combine with acute medication for better outcomes.
