Headaches have troubled humans for millennia, long before modern medicine provided effective treatments. One of the strangest historical remedies comes from the 1890s: vibration therapy. This involved placing a patient’s head inside a helmet and then striking a metal anvil beneath it with a mallet, sending vibrations through the skull. Whether this method actually eased pain or simply stunned the sufferer into silence remains unclear, but it highlights the desperate and sometimes bizarre lengths people went to in order to find relief from chronic headaches.
