| Change From Baseline in Mean Monthly Hours of at Least Moderate Headache Pain Intensity Over Months 1, 2, and 3 | Baseline, Month 1, Month 2, and Month 3 | At least moderate headache pain intensity was defined as headache pain intensity reported as 'Moderate' or 'Severe' based on the 3-level headache pain intensity scale. Worst or peak pain intensity during a headache was collected using the e-diary in 3-levels (mild, moderate or severe). The duration of headaches with at least moderate pain intensity was collected. A negative change from baseline indicates a reduction in mean monthly hours of at least moderate headache pain intensity. Change from baseline in mean monthly measurement is the arithmetic mean of the monthly change from baseline values for the months considered with observed data, if there was at least one observed monthly value. The least squares mean (LSM) estimates of change from baseline in reported headache pain intensity utilized a linear mixed model which included treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, and baseline value as covariates and assumed a first-order auto regression covariance structure. |

Change From Baseline in Mean Monthly Hours of at Least Moderate Headache Pain Intensity Over Months 1, 2, and 3
At least moderate headache pain intensity was defined as headache pain intensity reported as 'Moderate' or 'Severe' based on the 3-level headache pain intensity scale. Worst or peak pain intensity during a headache was collected using the e-diary in 3-levels (mild, moderate or severe). The duration of headaches with at least moderate pain intensity was collected. A negative change from baseline indicates a reduction in mean monthly hours of at least moderate headache pain intensity. Change from baseline in mean monthly measurement is the arithmetic mean of the monthly change from baseline values for the months considered with observed data, if there was at least one observed monthly value. The least squares mean (LSM) estimates of change from baseline in reported headache pain intensity utilized a linear mixed model which included treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, and baseline value as covariates and assumed a first-order auto regression covariance structure.
