Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain-Free at 2 Hours Post-dose and Sustained Pain-Free From 2-24 Hours Post-dose. | 2 hours through 24 hours after Treatment | Pain-free was defined as a headache severity of no pain (grade 0) at 2 hours post-treatment in subjects who have not used rescue medication prior to or at the time of the assessment. Sustained pain-free response was defined as pain-free at 2 hours post-treatment through 24 hours post-treatment without rescue medicine. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sustained Headache Relief 2-24 Hours After Treatment | 2-24 hours after treatment | Sustained pain relief was defined as having pain relief (mild or no pain) at 2 hours w/o any moderate or severe pain during 2-24 hour period post-treatment, without rescue medication. |
| Headache Relief at 4, 2, 1 and 0.5 Hours After Treatment | 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 hours after treatment | Pain relief was defined as reduction of headache pain from a baseline severity of moderate or severe to none or mild at the given time. |
| Subjects Who Used Rescue Medication From 0 - 24 Hours After Treatment | 0 - 24 hours after treatment | Rescue medication defined as additional medication (i.e. sumatriptan/naproxen sodium as open-label rescue or other medication as permitted per protocol), taken by subject for the treatment of headache pain or other symptoms associated with the headache attack. |
| Freedom From Headache Pain at 0.5, 1, and 4 Hours After Treatment | 0.5, 1, and 4 hours after Treatment | Pain-Free is defined as post-treatment headache pain severity of none in subjects who have not used rescue medication prior to or at the time of the assessment. |
| Intermediate Sustained Pain-Free: Post-dose at Intervals of 2-4 Hours and 1-2 Hours | 1-2 and 2-4 hours after treatment | Intermediate sustained pain free was defined as achieving headache pain-free (moderate or severe pain to no pain) prior to the specified timepoint (1 or 2 hours) and maintaining it to the specified timepoint (2-4 hours).(Intermediate=Intermed.) |
| Incidence of Headache Associated: Neck Pain, Sinus Pain, Photophobia, Phonophobia, Nausea at Time Intervals of 4 and 2 Hours After Treatment | 2 and 4 hours after treatment | Neck pain, sinus pain, photophobia, phonophobia and nausea are considered headache-associated symptoms.(Headache-associated=Headache-Assoc.) |
| Medication Satisfaction: Mean Patient Perception of Migraine (PPMQ-R) Subscale Score | 0 - 24 hours after treatment | Patient Perception of Migraine Questionnaire-Revised(PPMQ-R) evaluates subject satisfaction with treatment 24 hours post-dose using validated questions. Questions are analyzed on 4 subscale scores (efficacy, functionality, ease-of-use, and tolerability) and total score. Scores range from 0-100, with the higher scores indicating better satisfaction. |
| Intermediate Sustained Pain Relief: Post-dose at Intervals of 2-4 Hours and 1-2 Hours After Treatment | 1-2, and 2- 4 hours after treatment | Intermediate sustained pain relief was defined as achieving headache pain relief (from moderate or severe pain at baseline to mild or no pain) prior to the specified timepoint (1 or 2 hours) and maintaining it to the specified timepoint (2-4 hours).
