Key clinical point: Cold interventions, including cold-gel headband, cold-gel cap, and intraoral cooling, provide instant relief from pain in patients with migraine; however, their long-term effects on pain are not significant.
Major finding: The cold intervention group vs. control group led to a significant reduction in pain on a visual analog scale score at 30 minutes (standard mean difference [SMD] −3.21; P = .02) but a nonsignificant reduction in the score at 24 hours (SMD −0.44; P = .07) after the intervention.
Study details: This was a meta-analysis of 6 studies (4 randomized controlled trials and 2 quasi-experimental studies) that included adult patients with migraine who underwent a cold intervention.
Disclosures: The study was partially sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Israel. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
