Aculief - Award Winning Natural Headache, Migraine, Tension Relief Wearable – Supporting Acupressure Relaxation, Stress Alleviation, Tension Relief and Headache Relief - 1 Pack (Regular, Pink)

When it stays in place, this works fantastic! However, I have a hard time keeping it from popping off, which is disappointing. I’ve tried adjusting to multiple spots as well as using both hands, and it’s still difficult to stay on.UPDATE: The customer service this company has is amazing. After posting my initial review, they sent me two new aculiefs to try to see if they would stay in place, along with a hand-written note from the CEO! One is a more snug fit, and the other stays in place, even while working all night long! Living with chronic headaches and migraines is not easy, and finding products that work that are not drug-related are even harder, and this is one company dedicated to helping its customers!!

I suffer from migraines and don't have much luck with medications so when i saw this I HAD to try it. Arrived on time, no damage and a note from the seller. I was surprised when I first took it out of that package since it was hard plastic. After watching the short video I was hoping it was more of a rubber. I had trouble putting it on and believe the plastic is the reason since it's very hard and stiff. Seller mentioned ability to "stretch" it to fit hand but I'm afraid if I "stretch" too much it will snap in half since the middle is where the seam is. Once I got it on, I DID notice relief, but either due to the plastic or my "fat hands" it either slips off or squeezes so hard it literally makes my vein pop up. Although I love the relief it gave my headache, I don't know if I can handle the pain in my hand :-( This is the only reason I gave it 3 stars. If they were able to supply sizes or maybe a more flexible rubber than plastic this would be an amazing product and I would certainly have spares available for work, vehicle, etc.

Note that I would give this 3.5 stars instead of 4 if possible.I've been using the pressure point trick to reduce headache pain for many years now, but usually I just pinched it with the index finger and thumb of the opposite hand for 5-10 minutes, which as you can imagine is not super fun. I got the Aculief in an attempt to do the same job without tying up a hand. Bottom line is that it *kind of* works, but not particularly well in comparison to the "old school" method. There are two issues: one is that there's not enough pressure to really activate the point well (or confuse your brain or whatever it does), and the second is that the pads on the inside that touch your hand are a hard plastic, so they get annoying fast and leave nice fat marks on your hand where they press.I'd like to see an updated version of this that comes in a few different pressure level options and has more rubbery pads.

I placed an order for my daughter who is doing her masters program. She suffers from frequent migraines following a car accident where she had whiplash. She loved it so much that I placed a second order for my daughter that suffered a severe traumatic brain injury in a wreck and also has migraines. We totally love this product! In her words... "These are FLIPPIN’ AWESOME!!!! They really help take the migraine pain away!" I’ve had migraines since my severe traumatic brain injury and I think that this is the best invention ever!!! Nothing comes close to helping like the aculief! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I waited a bit to give this review, to check a few things.1. Was it going to stretch out (because I have thick webbing in my hand) and not bounce back? Nope! It does stretch out while keeping good pressure on, then when you take it off, it eases back to it's original state. CHECK!2. Would it work? I have no idea if it's the placebo effect or not, but works FANTASTIC on headaches and pretty good on anxiety and stress as well. It's not a cure all. It does help. A LOT. If it's a placebo effect, I don't really care, because it works!3. Doesn't feel cheap. Yes, it's a small piece of simple technology, but I never feel like it's about to break. It feels solid and built for years of use.Overall, happy with it!

So I read all the reviews before I purchased this. And a few was saying it was too small and kept sliding off. This is true as you can see in the pictures once I put it on its starts coming off plus it’s so tight it cuts my circulation. I understand the whole idea is to take your mind off the pain from the migraine but now I have pain on my hand (lol) funny not funny tho I have suffered from migraine all of my life and have always been willing to try anything that would help me. This is another one going in my drawer if I can’t return it!

As a patient who has tried and successfully used acupuncture, I can tell you that the theory and practice does work. However, this product was too large for my small hands and I could not adjust to correct the location of the pressure. I will probably give it to a friend.

I found this product after my doctor told me I should stop taking so much Advil for my headaches. I have used several Advil a day for years and found out Advil could damage my liver. I was skeptical that this product would work for my level of pain but gave it a try to see what would happen. I was very impressed with how much relief it provided for my pain and headaches​. I have used it several times now and have been very happy with the results each time. If you are like me and suffer from chronic pain and headaches, you should give this product a try.

***EDITED***Please don’t waste your time or money on this. It feels like I’ve been nothing more than scammed & am so upset and disappointed that I fell for this.Having suffered from severe migraines for over 20 years and even taken part in medical studies to try get them under control I would do or buy almost anything to help get rid of my headaches and pain so when I first read about this ( despite being a little sceptical) I was still willing to give it a try.The device does not stay on your hand no matter how much you try and holding it in place with your other hand rather defeats the whole object. When it is in place albeit very briefly it does not work at all and I don’t really know how this has been allowed to be marketed as a pain relief tool when clearly it is nothing more than a cheap bit of plastic being unlawfully packaged, marketed and sold at an extortionate cost to unsuspecting individuals who are desperate to find some form of genuine pain relief.Shame on Aculief for conning people out of their hard earned money and shame on Amazon for selling it on their platform***AND THE SCAM GETS WORSE!! Now they are trying to sell this as some kind of weight loss device!!!!! I’m guessing people are now wise to the fact that it DOES NOT WORK FOR ANY TYPE OF MIGRAINE SO THE SELLERS ATE CHANGING THEIR TACTICS!!!!!!!

I cant get it to stay on? It slides off so i have to hold it in place which is the same as keeping the pressure there with my index finger and thumb anyway

This is amazing tbh. I'm quite big on complementary/alternative health however am also very skeptical aso several things have not worked for me and am a big believer in integrative healthcare. Anyway.. I have terrible migraines with pms and if I eat a lot of cheese that it takes days of extra strength paracetamol to attempt to clear it and it doesn't always work. I used this in combination with extra strength paracetamol and my migraine was relieved after 5 minutes of using this.. I keep it on for as long as possible because when I take it off the symptoms cone back so I combine this with extra strength paracetamol first established results for me. My dizziness faded after 5 minutes and pain reduced. Would highly recommend to anyone who suffers headaches or migraines to use alone or with a pain relieving medication. It also helps to relieve some of my stress aso I feel more relaxed with it. So of anyone has PTSD like me, you could also give it a go for them really awful times.

This didn't work for me unfortunately, suffered with headaches 15 years plus. Made quite an indent on my hand, that's when it stayed on. You need to be still for it to stay on, can't work with it on or do much other than keep your hand still and if you live a busy like it's impossible

The Aculief hasn't provided any relief from my migraines so far, which is such a shame as I had hoped it would help me stop taking so many pain meds.The device itself is quite well made, and I needed to stretch it slightly as it was quite tight on my hand. Order was dispatched quickly and customer service seems very good so far.Edited to add: Customer service then blocked me on Facebook (I guess as I managed to buy it in the EU and it's not supposed to be sold here?!) so not that helpful in the end!
