- Change From Baseline in the Frequency of Headache Days [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12 Weeks ]Change from baseline in the frequency of headache days during the 28-day period, ending with Week 12 in the Intent-to-Treat population. A headache day for a patient is defined as a calendar day with 1 or more total hours of headache as recorded by the patient in the electronic diary.
- Change From Baseline in the Frequency of Severe Headache Days [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12 Weeks ]Change from baseline in the frequency of severe headache days during the 28-day period, ending with Week 12 in the Intent-to-Treat population. A severe headache day is defined as a calendar day with 1 or more total hours of headache and with maximum severity reported as 'severe' for the day as recorded by the patient in the electronic diary.
- Change From Baseline in the Total Cumulative Hours of Headache on Headache Days [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12 Weeks ]Change From Baseline in the Total Cumulative Hours of Headache on Headache Days during the 28-day period ending with Week 12 in the Intent-to-Treat Population. Total cumulative hours is defined as the sum of total duration of headaches on headache days.
- Percentage of Patients With ≥ 50% Decrease From Baseline in the Frequency of Headache Days [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12 Weeks ]Percentage of patients with ≥ 50% decrease from baseline in the frequency of headache days during the 28-day period ending with Week 12 in the Intent-to-Treat Population. A responder for headache days was defined as a patient with a 50% decrease in change from baseline in the frequency of headache days.
- Percentage of Patients Who Are Prescribed Oral Rescue Migraine Prophylactic Treatment [ Time Frame: 12 Weeks ]Percentage of patients who are prescribed oral rescue migraine prophylactic treatment during the 28-day period ending with Week 12 in the Intent-to-Treat population.
