Ketorolac Then Sumatriptan Then Placebo
Participants were randomized for three attacks. For each treated attack, participants utilized two study treatments (A and B). Study treatment A administered as one spray in each nostril, and study treatment B administered as one spray in one nostril. Randomized to Ketorolac, A=Ketorolac, B=Placebo Randomized to Sumatriptan, A=Placebo, B=Sumatriptan Randomized to Placebo, A=Placebo, B=Placebo Attack 1: Ketorolac: Single dose of Ketorolac spray 31.5 kg, one spray in each nostril for acute migraine attack (Treatment A), placebo spray (Treatment B) in one nostril. Attack 2: Sumatriptan: Placebo spray (treatment A) in one nostril, 20 mg single dose of Sumatriptan spray (Treatment B) into one nostril.
