Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of telcagepant (MK-0974) in acute treatment of multiple migraine attacks with or without aura. Primary hypotheses of this study are that telcagepant is superior to placebo, as measured by the proportion of participants who have pain freedom, pain relief, pain freedom consistency, pain relief consistency, and absence of photophobia, phonophobia, and nausea at 2 hours post-dose.
