Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effect of nasal carbon dioxide in the treatment of mild headaches in people who have migraines.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This multi-center, adaptively randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of a nasal, non-inhaled administration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the treatment of mild headaches. An estimated 250 patients who meet the eligibility criteria will be enrolled into this study at approximately 15 sites to ensure that about 220 patients are randomized and complete the study.

* Are females who are pregnant or lactating
* Use antipsychotic or antidepressant medications (unless only for migraine prophylaxis) within 12 weeks prior to randomization and for the duration of the study
* Have a concurrent diagnosis of TMD or trigeminal neuralgia requiring treatment
* Clinically significant deviated septum, nasal polyps or other nasal condition that prevents unrestricted breathing through each nostril
* Have participated in another study with nasal CO2
