Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Pain freedom at 2 hours post-dose

Percentage of participants that report no pain at 2 hours post-dose. Pain will be measured on a 4-point Likert scale (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe).

Time frame
Two hours post-dose
2

Freedom from most bothersome symptoms (MBS) at 2 hours post-dose

Percentage of participants that report absence of their MBS (nausea, phonophobia, or photophobia) at 2 hours post-dose. MBS will be measured using a binary scale (0=absent, 1=present).

Time frame
Two hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes

1

Pain relief at 2 hours post-dose

Percentage of participants that report a pain level of moderate of severe (responses of 2 or 3 on the 4-point Likert scale) at baseline and then report a pain level of none or mild (responses of 0 or 1 on the 4-point Likert scale) at 2 hours post-dose.

Time frame
Two hours post-dose
2

Sustained pain freedom from 2 to 48 hours post-dose

Percentage of participants that do not use any rescue medication, do not experience any headache pain through the time period of interest, and do not have missing pain data at 2, 24, or 48hours post-dose.

Time frame
From 2 to 48 hours post-dose
3

Freedom from functional disability at 2 hours post-dose

Percentage of participants that self-report as being able to function normally on the functional disability scale in the subset of participants that reported any level of disability at baseline. The scale has a 4-point numeric rating: normal (0); mildly impaired (1); moderately impaired (2); severely impaired, requires bedrest (3).

Time frame
Two hours post-dose
4

Pain relief at 60 minutes post-dose

Percentage of participants that report a pain level of moderate of severe (responses of 2 or 3 on the 4-point Likert scale) at baseline and then report a pain level of none or mild (responses of 0 or 1 on the 4-point Likert scale) at 60 minutes post-dose

Time frame
Sixty minutes post-dose
