Helpful Options For Treating Migraines

Blackout Curtains

Blackout curtains help block light entering a room and are particularly helpful in reducing a patient's sensitivity to light during a migraine. The curtains are available in a range of fabrics including velvet and other materials generally used for upholstery. The most effective types of these curtains use three layers, including a layer of foam at the back to completely block out light and also dampen sound. Depending on the weight of the curtains, they may also provide some degree of soundproofing, which can help migraine sufferers have a quieter environment in which they can recover from their headache. Some blackout curtains may not cover the entire window or may leave a gap in the middle. In these cases, tape can be used to overcome this defect. Some patients may wish to supplement their use of blackout curtains by also using an eye mask and soft earplugs to further reduce the levels of light and sound they experience.
