Reporting Groups
  Description
Topiramate Subjects randomized to Group A were provided with topiramate 25mg to titrate to a maximum dosage of 100mg during Month 1. One dose adjustment was allowed with 50mg/day the required minimum dosage. Group A subjects treated with daily topiramate during Months 2 and 3 and rescued any migraine headache that occurred with frovatriptan 2.5mg.
Frovatriptan Subjects randomized to Group B were provided with frovatriptan 5mg to be utilized during prodrome at the point they were confident a disabling migraine would occur but before the onset of headache. Subjects were provided with frovatriptan 2.5mg for rescue of persistent or recurring headache between 4 and 24 hours following treatment during prodrome.
