Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Pain Relief at 2 Hours After the Initial Dose of Test Drug	Patients reporting pain relief (defined as a reduction of headache severity from grades 2/3 at baseline to 0/1) at 2 hours after the initial dose of test drug. Pain severity was subjectively rated by patients on a scale from grade 0 to 3: Grade 0 - No headache, Grade 1 - Mild pain, Grade 2 - Moderate pain, Grade 3 - Severe pain.	2 hours after initial dose of test drug
Secondary	Pain Free at 2 Hours After the Initial Dose of Test Drug	Patients reporting pain free (defined as a reduction of headache severity to grade 0 [no pain]) at 2 hours after the initial dose of test drug. Pain severity was subjectively rated by patients on a scale from grade 0 to 3: Grade 0 - No headache, Grade 1 - Mild pain, Grade 2 - Moderate pain, Grade 3 - Severe pain.	2 hours after initial dose of test drug
Secondary	No Disability at 2 Hours After the Initial Dose of Test Drug	Patients with no disability at 2 hours after the initial dose of test drug. Functional disability was subjectively rated on a scale from grade 0 to 3: Grade 0 - Normal, Grade 1 - Daily activities mildly impaired, Grade 2 - Daily activities severely impaired, Grade 3 - Unable to carry out daily activities, requires bedrest	2 hours after initial dose of test drug
Secondary	Use of Escape Medication at 2 Hours After the Initial Dose of Test Drug		2 hours after initial dose of test drug
Secondary	Pain Relief 2 Hours After Treatment for Headache Recurrence	Patients reporting pain relief 2 hours after treatment for headache recurrence (defined as the return of headache to grade 2 or 3 within 24 hours of the initial dose in patients who reported pain relief (grades 0 or 1) at 2 hours).	2 hours after treatment for recurrence
