Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean change in pain score4 months

We will also assess the change in migraine pain before versus after treatment with the 100-mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), which is a continuum scale that patients can quantify their pain from none (0 mm) to extreme (100 mm) for both treatment sites. The mean score for each patient cohort will be calculated. We will also perform a sub analysis on women versus men.

Percent of subjects who are responders4 months

For each subject treatment effectiveness will be assessed by both achieving pain relief (if the pain decreases from a 4-point visual rating scale (VRS) of 'severe' or 'moderate' at pre-treatment to 'mild' or 'none' at 120-min post-treatment) or pain-free ('none') status. The percent of subjects that experience a significant reduction in pain relief score (VRS) will be calculated for the verum and sham treatment sites.
