Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
