Going into a dark room can help until the migraine passes.
Often, exposure to bright light during a migraine can worsen the migraine itself.
When these rays are all combined (as in sunlight), they make white light.

Two colors in particularblue and greenare of special interest when it comes to migraine prevention and treatment.
Blue Light
Blue light has a shorter wavelength and more energy than other rays of light.
It often is a large component of white light.
In other words, blue light is everywhere.
Furthermore, you are less likely to experience aversion or sensitivity to green light during a migraine attack.
Of the participants, almost 80% reported more intense headaches with colored light exposureall except green.
In fact, about 20% experienced a decreased headache intensity with green light exposure.
Green light devices can be purchased online, however they are costly.
Green light therapy devices may be useful in relieving migraine pain.
