3. Regular use of the following medications for any reason: acetaminophen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antipsychotic drugs, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, benzodiazepines, sleep medications, muscle relaxants, anti-emetic medications, blood thinning medications (e.g., warfarin or heparin), cannabinoids, or botulinum toxin to head and neck regions. Low-dose aspirin for cardiovascular disease prophylaxis is permitted.

4. Confounding painful conditions, (e.g. fibromyalgia, chronic low back pain, complex regional pain syndrome, etc.).

5. Diagnosis of any concurrent medical or psychiatric condition; this includes, chronic unstable debilitating diseases such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer, significant renal impairment, significant hepatic impairment, etc.

6. The patient has a history or diagnosis of moderate-to-severe hepatic or renal impairment (>2 × the upper limit of normal [ULN] for alanine transaminase or aspartate transaminase. =1.5 × ULN for alkaline Phosphatase, bilirubin, BUN, or creatinine). (Patients with elevated bilirubin level due to Gilbert's syndrome are allowed).

7. The patient has a history within the previous 5 years of abuse of any drug, prescription, illicit, or alcohol.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	The Change in Mean PIRS-20 From Baseline to Last 7 Days of Treatment.	Average of PIRS-20, (0-60 = higher with difficulty with sleep)	From baseline to month 3 of the treatment period.
Other	The Number of Participants Who Had an Improvement in Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) at End of Treatment		From baseline to month 3 of the treatment period.
Other	The Number of Participants Reporting Patients' Satisfaction Level		From baseline to month 3 of the treatment period.
Other	Mean Monthly Migraine Hours Change From Baseline to Last 28 Days of Treatment		From baseline to month 3 of the treatment period.
Other	Change in at Least Moderate Migraine Days in Treatment		From baseline to month 3 of the treatment period
Other	The Number of Participants Who Achieved the Percentage of Response in at Least Moderate Migraine Days Baseline to Last 28 Days of Treatment		From baseline to month 3 of the treatment period.
Other	Mean Severe Headache Days Change From Baseline to Last 28 Days of Treatment		From baseline to month 3 of the treatment period.
Primary	Change in Monthly Migraine Days (MMD) From Baseline to the Last 28 Days of Treatment Period.	Migraine with or without aura is defined according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD)-3rd edition (beta version). Migraine headaches must be moderate or severe and lasting =30 minutes. When the patient falls asleep during migraine and wakes up without it, duration of the attack is reckoned until the time of awakening).	From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-days double-blinded treatment period.
Secondary	The Number of Participants With More Than 50% Improvement in the Mean Monthly Migraine Days (MMDs)	MMD stands for change in Monthly Migraine Days from 28-day baseline to the last 28 days of the double-blind treatment period	From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-days double-blinded treatment period.
Secondary	The Number of Participants With More Than 75% Improvement in the Mean Monthly Migraine Days (MMDs)		From the28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-day treatment period.
Secondary	The Number of Participants With 100% Improvement in Mean MMD in the Last 28 Days Double-blinded Treatment Period.		From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-day treatment period.
Secondary	Mean Monthly Acute Migraine Medication Treatment Days Change From Baseline to Last 28 Days of Treatment		From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-day treatment period.
Secondary	The Change in HIT-6 From Baseline to Last 28 Days of Treatment	HIT-6 - headache impact test - was designed to provide a global measure of adverse headache impact. Score range is 36-78, Score = 60 - a very severe impact on life, scored = 49 little to no impact on life. The percent responders were calculated as follows: the change from baseline score divided by the score at the baseline minus 36.	From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-day treatment period.
