Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Pain intensity and pain interference as well as broader health domains measured using PROMIS-29 Profile v2.0 at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months 2. Functional impact of migraine on daily activities measured using the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months 3. Migraine-specific quality of life measured using the Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQ) at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months 4. Participants’ perceived overall change in pain symptoms measured using the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months 5. Burden of migraine between headache episodes measured using the Migraine Interictal Burden Scale (MIBS-4) at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months 6. Headache frequency: number of headache episodes recorded using a headache diary (paper calendar) or the Migraine Tracker application at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months	—
