Motorized Blackout Shades

Light Sensitivity

Abnormal pain due to light intolerance, also known as photophobia, is a common symptom of the disease. Even migraine sufferers who are blind can be affected by light, says migraine.com. Sunlight or bright lights from cars passing by a window in your home can increase the pain of a migraine headache – and in some cases can trigger one. With light sensitivity playing such a large role in the management of pain, blackout shades are one of the best options for those with the disease. These window treatments are engineered to allow less than 1% of light into your home. The result is a dark-as-night room enabling the sufferer to recover.

Sound Sensitivity

Blackout curtains and shades are able to absorb some sound prior to it entering a room. Since over 70% of migraine sufferers have sound related triggers and/or pain, these type of window treatments offer a very helpful solution.

Cooler Room Temperatures

Many of those who suffer from this type of neurological pain say that they prefer a cool room in which to recover. Damp washcloths and ice packs are often used to lessen the throbbing and aching. By installing blackout shades in a room, the area can be noticeably cooler than with a regular fabric curtain.

Migraine Aura and Motorized Shades

Visual disturbances, called migraine aura, can greatly affect sufferers. Spots, flashes, shapes and partial vision loss can make migraines incredibly debilitating. If your home alone during a migraine attack, you can still create a dark, quiet, and cool room with motorized blackout shades. A simple push of a button is all that’s needed to draw the shades down. This enables you to start managing and recovering sooner.
