What MigraineEase Is For
This site covers living with migraine: light and sound sensitivity, sleep, tracking, triggers, workplace adjustments, and the equipment people use to manage attacks and reduce their impact.
The focus is practical and environmental. It is about the room you are in, the tools you have, and what the evidence supports, rather than about treatment.
Who Runs This Site
MigraineEase is independently owned and operated by one person who gets migraines. It is not a media company, has no parent organization, and is not affiliated with any manufacturer or retailer whose products appear here.
Having the condition is why the site exists. It is not medical qualification, and we are careful throughout not to let the first thing be mistaken for the second.
How We Research What We Publish
Articles draw on guidance from independent medical authorities including headache and neurology organizations and public health bodies, alongside manufacturer documentation for the products discussed.
We cite genuine independent sources rather than product manufacturers or competing websites. A company selling a migraine device is not a source on whether migraine devices work.
Where evidence is limited or mixed, we say so. Several articles here conclude that a popular product category has weaker support than its marketing suggests, and we would rather publish that than an easier recommendation.
Photography
Where an article carries a photograph of a product in use, that photograph is original and shows equipment actually owned and used in this household. Those images are not stock, not supplied by a manufacturer, and not reused across articles.
Articles without that kind of direct experience use stock photography, and the absence of an original photo is itself a signal about what kind of article you are reading.
How Recommendations Are Chosen
Products are selected on documented specifications, construction, and fit for the specific use the article addresses. Availability matters too, since recommending something nobody can buy helps nobody.
No manufacturer pays for placement here, no product is included because a brand asked, and no ranking has ever been sold. There are no sponsored posts on this site.
We also do not accept free products in exchange for coverage, which keeps the question of obligation from arising at all.
How We Make Money
This site participates in the Amazon Associates program. When you buy through a link here, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
That creates an obvious incentive to recommend expensive things, and the way we handle it is to say when something cheaper does the job and when you should not buy at all. Several articles on this site conclude that the reader does not need the product in question.
Our full affiliate disclosure covers the arrangement in detail.
Our Limits, Stated Plainly
We are not doctors and nothing on this site is medical advice. Migraine is a neurological condition requiring diagnosis and management by a qualified clinician, and no article here substitutes for that.
Our first-person experience is condition-level. Where we describe using a specific product, that is genuine, and it applies to a small number of items rather than to most of what we cover.
Sudden severe headache, headache with fever, confusion, weakness, vision loss, or the worst headache of your life are medical emergencies requiring immediate attention rather than anything found on a website.
Corrections and Updates
Articles are revisited when products are discontinued, when specifications change, or when we learn something that makes an existing recommendation wrong.
If you find an error, tell us through the contact page. Corrections are made to the article rather than appended as a note, since the goal is that the page is right rather than that its history is visible.
We would rather be corrected than be wrong quietly.
