|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the subjective patient?s preference for either study medication after having tested both of them on a number of between 1 and 3 attacks of migraine in a maximum period of 3 months. This will be evaluated independently in the two sequence subgroups.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate, in the same target population, the reasons indicated by the patient to explain the expressed preference, the proportion of episodes rated as painless at 2 hours and 4 hours, the changes of migraine intensity in 4 hours, the proportion of episodes requiring the second drug dose/rescue medication, the proportion of recurring episodes and the time to recurrence. Clinical safety (adverse events, vital signs) will also be monitored pre-study and at the end of each treatment period.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the preference expressed by the patient on a visual analogue scale for the first or second treatment received. | — |
