Any other barrier methods (only if used in combination with any of the above acceptable methods) or, Any other methods with published data showing highest expected failure rate for that method is less than 1% per year. - Formally diagnosed ICHD 5.2.2 chronic post traumatic headache - Have had traumatic brain injury (TBI) not more than 5 years prior to enrollment - Medically stable as determined by Investigator - On stabilized dosage of any headache preventive medications for 3 months prior to screening - On stabilized dosage of concomitant medications at discretion of investigator - Chronic headache history only after the TBI - Able to understand and communicate intelligibly with study observer - Able to take oral medication, adhere to the medication regimens and perform study procedures - Able to read and comprehend written instructions and be willing to complete all procedures and assessments required by protocol - Subject is able to demonstrate willingness to participate by signing and understanding an informed consent after full explanation of study - Self-reported cognitive inefficiency or "brain-fog" during headache Exclusion Criteria: - History of hypersensitivity to triptan-like medication - Pathology of salivary glands such as sialadenitis (e.g., Sjorgen's Syndrome, viral or bacterial sialadenitis, or obstructive sialadenitis) - Any condition or symptom that would knowingly alter content of saliva - History of, symptoms or signs of ischemic cardiac, cerebrovascular or peripheral vascular syndromes or other significant underlying cardiovascular disease. Ischemic cardiac syndromes include, but are not limited to, angina pectoris of any type (e.g. stable angina of effort and vasospastic forms of angina such as Prinzmetal variant, all forms of myocardial infarction, and silent myocardial ischemia. Cerebrovascular syndromes include, but are not limited to, strokes of any type as well as transient ischemic attacks. Peripheral vascular disease includes, but is not limited to, ischemic bowel disease. - Any medication overuse that in the opinion of the investigator has exacerbated or contributed to current headache pattern of subject - Uncontrolled hypertension, severe renal impairment, severe hepatic impairment, hemiplegic or basilar headache - History of hypersensitivity to naratriptan or any components - Pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or lactating - Recent history of abuse of alcohol or other drugs that would interfere with participation - Participation in another investigative drug study within previous 30 days - Chronic pain syndromes, fibromyalgia, Gulf War Syndrome, and other multisystem diseases characterized by poor or no response to pain-reducing interventions |

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Headache Days | Number of headache days as measured by the Headache Diary | Day 30 | No |
Primary | Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6) Score | Impact of headache symptoms on subject's life as measured by HIT-6 questionnaire scores. Possible scores range from 36 to 78. Score of 48 or less indicates headache has little impact on life. Score of 60-78 indicative of very severe impact. | Day 0, Day 30 | No |
Primary | Mental Efficiency Workload Test (MEWT) Performance Index Score | Cognitive function as measured by Performance Index scores on the Mental Efficiency Workload Test (MEWT). On the performance index scale of 1 to 10, 1 indicates the poorest level and 10 indicates the best level of cognitive functioning. Tests include: Simple reaction time, Running memory, Matching to sample, Math processing and a sleep scale. | Day 0, Day 10, Day 30 | No |
Secondary | Overall Satisfaction With Medication Score | Subject overall satisfaction with effectiveness of the therapy as measured by score on the Satisfaction with Medication questionnaire. Scale range: Very satisfied, Satisfied, Neutral, Dissatisfied, Very dissatisfied. | Day 30, Day 90 | No |
Secondary | Quality of Life Scores | Quality of life as measured by Migraine Specific Quality of Life questionnaire (MSQ) scores. 14 questions ask how often headaches have interfered with specific daily activities in previous 4 weeks. 6-point scale ranges from "None of the time" to "All of the time". | Day 0, Day 30, Day 90 | No |
Secondary | Sustained Treatment Effect | Sustained treatment effect as measured by the MEWT Performance Index score compared to change in number of Headache Days. Results would be presented in the form of a correlation analysis. There is an expected negative correlation as performance index increases and number of headache days decrease (a correlation of -1). | Day 0, Day 10, Day 30 | No |
