Further study details as provided by Danish Headache Center:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Headache intensity, mean velocity of blood flow in the middle cerebral artery (VmeanMCA), superfical temporal artery diameter, PetCO2, adverse events and vital signs were recorded at T-10, T0 and then every 10 min until 120 min after start of infusion. [ Time Frame: Every 10 min. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • All subjects were asked to complete a headache diary every hour until 10 h after the discharge. The diary included headache characteristics and accompanying symptoms according to the International Headache Society (IHS 2004) [ Time Frame: 10 hours after discharge ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 15
Study Start Date: July 2012
Estimated Primary Completion Date: January 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
