Primary Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Changes from baseline in migraine-related quality of life
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 1 through Month 6
|
Changes from baseline in migraine-related quality of life as measured by the mean Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) total score.
HIT-6 has six questions, which are rated using a five-level scale: Never (6 points), Rarely (8 points), Sometimes (10 points), Very Often (11 points), and Always (13 points).
Total scores can range from 36 to 78, with higher totals reflecting a more significant impact.
