Have you heard of getting an upper blepharoplasty (upper eye lift) to help with migraine pain including the eye sockets?

While upper blepharoplasty for migraine relief isn't covered in the available information, there are several approaches MyMigraineTeam members have found helpful for eye and facial pain relief.

Some members use acupressure techniques, with one suggesting massaging the daith area (a point on the ear) for pain relief. Others have found success with essential oils like peppermint oil applied to the base of the head, neck, and shoulders.

For direct eye pain relief, members recommend:
- Lying in a dark, quiet room
- Warm compresses or heat-activated eye masks
- Ice packs or "ice hats" that hold multiple ice packs against affected areas
- TENS units placed on the skin to disrupt pain signals

A MyMigraineTeam member reported: "I have used the TENS unit for a couple of weeks. I no longer have trigeminal pain 24/7 and have averaged one migraine a week."

Since upper blepharoplasty for migraine isn't FDA approved yet, it's important to discuss this option thoroughly with your neurologist and healthcare team to understand potential risks and benefits compared to established treatments.
