Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Mean Change From Baseline in Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure at Month 6 for Sumatriptan/Naproxen	The calculation of baseline and post-baseline mean blood pressure (BP) (either systolic or diastolic) for each month (30-day period) is the average of all valid Telephonic Self-Measured Blood Pressure (T-SMBP) measurements. T-SMBP technology is a method that allows the participant to self-measure BP outside the clinic using a BP monitor and transfer the data from their home to a central server. Change from baseline was calculated as the Month 6 value minus the Baseline value. Least squares mean and confidence intervals were based on mixed model repeated measures analysis (MMRM).	Baseline and Month 6	Yes
Secondary	Mean Change From Baseline in Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure at Month 6 for Sumatriptan and Naproxen	The calculation of baseline and post-baseline mean BP (either systolic or diastolic) for each month (30-day period) is the average of all valid Telephonic Self-Measured Blood Pressure (T-SMBP) measurements. T-SMBP technology is a method that allows the participant to self-measure BP outside the clinic using a BP monitor and transfer the data from their home to a central server. Change from baseline was calculated as the Month 6 value minus the Baseline value. Least squares mean and confidence intervals were based on mixed model repeated measures analysis (MMRM).	Baseline and Month 6	Yes
Secondary	Treatment Difference in Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure Mean Changes From Baseline at 6 Months Between Sumatriptan/Naproxen and Sumatriptan	The calculation of baseline and post-baseline mean BP (either systolic or diastolic) for each month (30-day period) is the average of all valid Telephonic Self-Measured Blood Pressure (T-SMBP) measurements. T-SMBP technology is a method that allows the participant to self-measure BP outside the clinic using a BP monitor and transfer the data from their home to a central server. Change from baseline was calculated as the Month 6 value minus the Baseline value. Least squares mean and confidence intervals were based on mixed model repeated measures analysis (MMRM).

Secondary	Treatment Difference in Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure Mean Changes From Baseline at 6 Months Between Sumatriptan/Naproxen and Naproxen	The calculation of baseline and post-baseline mean BP (either systolic or diastolic) for each month (30-day period) is the average of all valid Telephonic Self-Measured Blood Pressure (T-SMBP) measurements. T-SMBP technology is a method that allows the participant to self-measure BP outside the clinic using a BP monitor and transfer the data from their home to a central server.

The subgrouping of the ITT population was created and examined to demonstrate the robustness of the results for the primary analysis.Descriptive statistics were calculated for baseline, month 6, and change from baseline to month 6. LSMeans and corresponding confidence intervals were based on MMRM analysis.	Baseline and Month 6	Yes
Secondary	Mean Change From Baseline in Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure at Month 6 for Sumatriptan/Naproxen for the ITT Subpopulation of Participants Treating, on Average, With <6, 6-10, >=6, 10-14, and >14 Doses Per Month	The calculation of baseline and post-baseline mean BP (either systolic or diastolic) for each month (30-day period) is the average of all valid T-SMBP measurements. The subgrouping of the ITT population was created and examined to demonstrate the robustness of the results for the primary analysis. Descriptive statistics were calculated for baseline, month 6, and change from baseline to month 6. LSMeans and corresponding confidence intervals (CIs) were based on MMRM analysis.

The subgrouping of the ITT population was created and examined to demonstrate the robustness of the results for the primary analysis. Descriptive statistics were calculated for baseline, month 6, and change from baseline to month 6. LSMeans and corresponding confidence intervals (CIs) were based on MMRM analysis. LSMeans and CIs were not calculated for the 60-90 and the >90 total dose groups due to lack of convergence.	Baseline and Month 6	Yes
