Trial Outcomes & Findings for Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen With and Without Magnesium and Primary Migraine in Childhood (NCT NCT01756209)

NCT ID: NCT01756209

Last Updated: 2020-03-25

Results Overview

The primary endpoint was when pain-relief took place and pain intensity differences from baseline (0 hour) to 3 hours after drug treatment. This measurement was defined as the AUC for the sum of the 2 measurements (pain relief and pain intensity difference) at each time point from 0 to 3 hours. Pain was measured using the vas analogue scale (range 0-10, where 0 = no pain (score 0) and 100 mm = worst pain (score 10)
