Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Male or female aged 18 years and over.
2. International Headache Society (IHS) diagnosis of migraine without aura or typical aura with migraine headache.
3. History of experiencing at least 1, but not more than 8, acute migraine attacks monthly during the previous year.
4. History of at least moderate migraine pain intensity, if left untreated.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Headache symptoms which may be due to or aggravated by:

* Recent (within 6 months) head or neck trauma (e.g., whiplash)
* Head or neck pain secondary to an orthopedic abnormality
* Cluster headache
* Specific migraine variants (e.g., basilar-type artery migraine, ophthalmoplegic migraine, hemiplegic migraine, migraine aura without headache)
* Other serious, non-migraine causes of headache (e.g., increased intracranial pressure, intracranial bleeding, meningitis, malignancy)
* Non-serious, non-migraine causes of headache (e.g., cold, flu, hangover)
2. Routine use (≥ 10 days per month, on average) of any medication having the potential to interfere with the pharmacologic effects or evaluation of the study medications (e.g., narcotic and non-narcotic analgesic products (prescription or over-the-counter), ergotamine-containing and ergot-type medication, anxiolytics, hypnotics, sedatives, 5HT-1 agonists, anti-emetics, or prokinetic drugs).
