Experts note that cold therapy, in particular, may help some migraine sufferers. Applying a cold compress to the forehead, temples, or neck can numb pain sensations and reduce inflammation around sensitive nerves. Similarly, resting in a quiet, dark environment may help ease symptoms caused by light and sound sensitivity. “All these hacks are good, but if you want to fix your pain, you need to fix your lifestyle,” said Dr. Jain.
