Warm baths for hands and feet may help relieve migraine pain in some people. Neurologists talked about this Health.
There is a common belief that warm foot baths can help relieve migraines. Doctors say that this method can really be useful, although there is no scientific evidence to reliably confirm its effectiveness.
In a small 2016 study, researchers divided 40 patients with chronic migraine into two groups. They were given regular migraine medications, but one group also put their feet and hands in a hot bath and also had their heads massaged with ice for 20 minutes each day. Evaluation after 45 days showed that hot baths and ice massage were associated with less pain. The research does not prove cause-and-effect, but it does support the potential of hot baths to treat migraines.
Warm baths for the feet and hands can help blood flow from the brain to the extremities. Experts also explained that it reduces stress and distracts the nervous system from pain signals.
Migraine is a special type of headache that is often throbbing, usually concentrated on one side of the head. People with migraine may also experience sensitivity to light and odors. If left untreated, symptoms may persist for up to 3 days. Experts who spoke to Health recommended that migraine patients drink more water, avoid coffee, loud noise and light, and take a short nap if possible. In addition, doctor-approved medications should be taken as early as possible in order to shorten the duration of the attack or even overcome it.
