Yes, and here's the honest version. Migraine is neurological, so nothing worn on your head changes what your brain is doing. What Kalmiq works on is the part you can feel: the throb at your temples, the vice grip, the weight behind your eyes. Compression there is studied for lowering headache pain intensity. It works the same way on tension, sinus and hormonal headaches, because the surface pain is the same.

Yes. Heat is a separate switch, so the pressure works with it off. For cold, add Kalmiq Ice underneath ($29).

Quiet. A soft pump rhythm. No speaker, no voice, no vibration, no flashing lights.

If a gel cap has ever taken you from a 1 to a 9, that was real. Almost every cap on the market has exactly one pressure, whatever the elastic decides, with no way to turn it down. Kalmiq is adjustable and it pulses instead of clamping, so you stay in control the whole time. Start on the lowest setting. If your scalp already hurts to touch, use it early in the attack rather than at the peak.

No pills, nothing absorbed, no electrical current. That means no interaction with your triptans, your preventives or your HRT, and no exclusion for metal implants or a pacemaker. Heat is capped at 55°C with automatic shut-off. Check with your doctor first if you have glaucoma, a retinal condition, cataracts or recent eye surgery, or if you're pregnant.

Yes, free. Use it for 100 days. If it's not for you, one email and we send a prepaid label. Full refund.

Most are built for tired eyes after work. This is built for an attack. No vibration, no voice prompts, no flashing lights, no touch panel you can't find in the dark. And the airbags cover your forehead and temples, not just your eye sockets, because that's where the pain actually is.

One size, Velcro strap, fits every head size and works over thick hair. No pressure on the nose bridge.
