I have a skeletal deformity in my neck that causes severe cervicogenic headaches. One of the best ways to relieve them is to rest the front of my head on something, or even push against it.

If anyone finds a place these are available in the U.S., please let me know. This could be a game-changer for me where nothing else works well.

I saw a travel version of this recently, for use on airplanes, trains etc.

Seems like a good idea (apart from folk reclining their seats mid-snooze), but they also seemed way too bulky to be useful for travelling. What I need is a truly portable version!

I have the same issue, and also experience relief by resting the front of my head. It is so bad these headaches often trigger visual artifacts.

I have found that stretching my shoulder joints works well to stop my severe cervicogenic headaches when they are beginning to develop. I need to rotate my shoulders 90 degrees back till they click. My neck gets in place. Sometimes it does not work. Avoiding laptop work decreased the frequency of issues quite dramatically.
