Trial Outcomes & Findings for Intravenous Fluid Therapy for the Treatment of Emergency Department Patients With Migraine Headache (NCT NCT02933060)

NCT ID: NCT02933060

Last Updated: 2019-07-16

Results Overview

The primary outcome will be the difference in verbal pain rating (0 = no pain, 10 = maximum pain) between the start of the study intervention and one hour later, at completion of the intervention. The minimum clinically significant difference between treatment groups on the 0-10 verbal scale is 1.3.
