Participant Flow

A total of 87 subjects consented, 24 of whom were randomized to a treatment group. 63 subjects did not return to study sites for randomization during an active migraine attack during the 60-day enrollment period. 7 of those subjects reconsented for an additional 60- day enrollment period. Only two subjects who reconsented came to the clinic for randomization. 4 subjects were withdrawn post-consent because they became in eligible (3) or withdrew their consent (1).
