SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Change from Month 1 to Month 10

Population: Efficacy analyses were intent-to-treat analyses that included all randomized (N = 232) participants.

Change in Migraine Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQL; Martin, et al., 2000: v 2.1) scores at Month 10 relative to OAT run-in (Month 1). The MSQL is a 14-item self-report measure that assesses the impact of migraine. The total score ranges from 14 to 84 with higher scores reflecting greater impairment.
