About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to identify differential traits in spontaneous migraine attacks that can help us predict the response to treatment with sumatriptan.
Participants will be asked to register the headache characteristics before and after taking sumatriptan and whether the treatment was effective or not during four migraine attacks.
