      Outcome Measures

      Primary Outcome Measures

      1. The proportion of patients having no headache pain at 2 hours. [2 hours]
        Measured by asking the patients to self-report the current status of their headache pain on a four-point Likert scale (i.e., 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe).
      2. The proportion of patients having the absence of the most bothersome migraine-associated symptom at 2 hours. [2 hours]
        The most bothersome migraine-associated symptom is prospectively identified at baseline. It is measured by asking the patients to self-report the current status of their associated symptom as present or absent.

      Secondary Outcome Measures

      1. The proportion of patients having the absence of nausea, photophobia, phonophobia, and neck/shoulder pain at 2 hours. [24 and 48 hours]
        Measured by asking the patients to self-report the current status of their associated symptoms as present or absent.
      2. The proportion of patients who used rescue medications within 24 hours. [24 hours]
      3. The proportion of patients who are "sustained pain-free" at 24-hours and 48-hours. [48 hours.]
        Defined as having no headache pain at 2 hours after the dose, with no use of rescue medication and no relapse of headache pain within 24 hours (24-hour sustained pain-free) or 48 hours (48-hour sustained pain-free) after administration of the investigational drug.
      4. The proportion of patients who had headache pain relapse within 48 hours [48 hours]
        Defined as the return of headache of any severity within 48 hours after administration of the investigational drug, when the patient was pain-free at 2 hours after the administration of the investigational drug.
      5. The proportion of patients who experienced adverse events [48 hours]
