I use the gel filled ice packs. Always lay a dish towel out on the counter next to the frig before I go to bed so it's handy to wrap the pack in. I hold it on my eye/temple area. Sometime it gets too tender there so it moves to the side/back of my neck. Don't really know if it helps. I'm just figuring the cold will constrict the vessels.
A couple gallons of ice water just sounds kinda uncomfortable but I guess that's relative during a CH.
