Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Placebo

MK-1602 placebo-matching tablet orally for 3 doses: Dose 1 at the onset of a moderate or severe migraine (Day 1), Dose 2 in the evening of Day 3 and Dose 3 on Day 4. After 2 hours participants were able to take rescue medication if necessary.
