Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of Subjects With Freedom From Migraine Headache Pain at 2 Hours Post Dose | 2 Hours Post-Dose | The subject's rating was documented on a four-point scale from no pain (= 0), mild pain (= 1), moderate pain (= 2) to severe pain (= 3). Pain freedom means the pain went from moderate (2) or severe (3) to no pain (0). |
| Percentage of Subjects With Freedom From Most-Bothersome Symptom at 2 Hours Post Dose | 2 Hours Post-Dose | Subjects were prompted to document the presence of 3 symptoms (photophobia, phonophobia, and nausea) immediately before study drug administration and during the treated migraine attack. |

| Percentage of Subjects With Relief From Migraine Headache Pain at 2 Hours Post Dose | 2 Hours Post Dose | The subject's rating was documented on a four-point scale from no pain (= 0), mild pain (= 1), moderate pain (= 2) to severe pain (= 3).
