Abstract
A headband for the treatment or relief of headaches having a means for attaching said headband to the head thereby producing variable pressure to the head, said headband having one or more pockets for the insertion of treatment elements including cold, heat, vibration, and magnetism; wherein said headband is attached to the head in an annular fashion and headaches are treated or relieved by applying pressure, cold, heat, vibration, or magnetism, or any combination thereof intermittently or continuously.
Claims19
A headband, comprising;
- a) a belt and a loop, said belt extending through said loop, wherein said belt is pulled away from said loop by a user to create pressure around the head, said loop providing leverage to adjust said pressure precisely;
- and
- b) a pull-tab having a first end and a second end, said first end fixed to said loop on an outer surface of said headband, wherein said pull-tab is pulled away from said belt by grasping said second end to facilitate creation of said pressure and to prevent rotation of said headband around the head as the user pulls said belt away from said loop.
A headband, comprising:
- a) a first end having a loop and a pull-tab, said pull-tab having a first end and a second end, said first end fixed to said loop on an outer surface of said headband;
- b) A second end having a belt;
- c) said belt extending through said loop and being pulled back towards said second end to create pressure around the head of a user, said belt using said loop to adjust said pressure precisely;
- d) said pull-tab being pulled away from said second end to facilitate the creation of said pressure and to prevent rotation of said headband around a user's head as said belt is pulled towards said second end;
- and
- e) an attachment means for reversibly attaching said belt to said headband to maintain said pressure constant after adjusting said pressure.
