Drug-Free Cold Therapy
Cold migraine relief, straight from the freezer.
With 360° light-blocking coverage, soft inner lining, and non-toxic gel, the Nu-Ice Cap is the first migraine ice cap you can wear straight from the freezer for instant relief.
The Cold Therapy Upgrade
Retire the frozen peas.
Most migraine caps warm up fast, miss spots, and come with velcro that catches your hair. Nu-Ice Cap delivers real cold relief from the moment it's on your head.
The Old Way
Not designed for you. Frozen peas or a bag of ice were never intended to soothe migraine discomfort.
Loses cold before it's on. Too cold to wear from the freezer, forcing you to wait before you can use it.
No full coverage. They miss your temples, forehead, and the back of your head.
Uncomfortable materials. Many use Velcro, which snags your hair with every adjustment.
Nu-Ice Cap
Designed by migraine professionals. We've been helping migraine sufferers since 1997.
Ready right away. Nu-Ice's soft inner fabric and non-toxic gel means you can use it right from the freezer.
360° coverage. The unique slip-on design surrounds your forehead, temples, and back of your head.
Long-lasting comfort. Soft fabrics, core gel, and compressive design mean Nu-Ice stays put.
- Blocks light and sound
- Fits into your routine
- Stays cold 3x longer

Nu-Ice Migraine & Headache Relief Cap
FROM FREEZER TO HEAD
Cold therapy has never been so comfortable.
- The softer inner fabric absorbs the surface chill before it reaches your skin

- The soft gel interior has no hard inserts or ridges to press into your temples
- Can be placed in the fridge or the freezer, depending on your needs

- With 20% more gel than competing caps, Nu-Ice cools faster and holds cold longer
- It's ready after 2 hours in the refrigerator. Use the freezer for a deeper, longer cold
- Contains non-toxic, odorless gel – no more ice crystals, leaks, or dealing with frozen peas

Three steps to relief
Freeze. Relief. Flip. Repeat.
-
Chill
Refrigerate or freeze for at least 2 hours (the method you choose will affect how long the cap stays cold).
-
Relief
Pull over your head for instant relief. The Nu-Ice Cap covers your eyes, temples, and the back of your head – fully blocking light and dampening sound.
-
Flip
When one side warms, you can flip the reversible cap inside-out for continued cold therapy. No need to refreeze in between.
The Standard Since 1997
Built by the brand neurologists have trusted for 29 years.
29 years ago, our Chief Scientific Officer Curt Hendrix, MS, CCN, CNS, built the formula that put MigreLief in neurology practices across the country. The Nu-Ice Cap comes from that same team, not a Shark Tank pitch or a drop-ship brand with a licensed gel mold. Nobody in this category has been building products for people that suffer from migraines longer than we have.
