Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoint of this study is the difference in mean ipsilateral R2 latency of the blink reflex between the one-week and baseline timepoint.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
* Clinical response to GON-injection as measured by daily attack frequency, attack intensity and duration * The association between the mean ipsi- and contralateral R2 latency of the blink reflex and the clinical response, as measured in percentage change in attack frequency, to the GON-injection * The association between the mean ipsi- and contralateral AUC of the blink reflex and the clinical response to the GON-injection * The change in ipsi- and contralateral mean R2 latency and mean AUC between all 4 time points * The difference in mean trigeminal sensible and pain threshold between all 4 time-points * The association between trigeminal sensible and pain threshold and clinical response to the GON-injection
