Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.Change in the number of headache days per month and the average duration of headache episodes (in hours), assessed using a daily headache diary, from baseline to Week 4 of treatment 2.Change in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score for Pain Intensity, from baseline to Week 4 3.Change in Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) Score, from baseline (Day 0) to end of treatment (Week 4) Timepoint: At baseline to 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th week

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
