Trial Outcomes & Findings for Treatment of Insomnia in Migraineurs (NCT NCT00812214)

NCT ID: NCT00812214

Last Updated: 2023-06-15

Results Overview

Participants were asked to record an estimated total time asleep on a daily basis. Nightly estimates were averaged over a 2 week period for baseline and 6 week period so that the total sleep time represents the average total time asleep each night.

Measure
Eszopiclone 3 mg
Participants with IHS-II migraine with and/or without aura and with DSM-IV primary insomnia. They were treated for 6 weeks with 3mg eszopiclone, followed by a 2-week runout period. Participants came in for five visits: a screening visit, a randomization visit, a compliance visit, an end-treatment visit, and an exit/early termination visit.
Placebo
Participants with IHS-II migraine with and/or without aura and with DSM-IV primary insomnia. They were treated for 6 weeks with placebo, followed by a 2-week runout period. Participants came in for five visits: a screening visit, a randomization visit, a compliance visit, an end-treatment visit, and an exit/early termination visit.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 weeks

Population: Modified ITT (defined as all participants who took study medication at least 5 days per week for the first 2 weeks of the 6-week treatment period and provided the corresponding diary entries for sleep and headache.)

Participants were asked to record an estimated total time asleep on a daily basis. Nightly estimates were averaged over a 2 week period for baseline and 6 week period so that the total sleep time represents the average total time asleep each night.
