入选标准

- •Age between 18 and 80 years.
- •Subjects must have headache at least 15 days per month during the last 4 weeks to enter the baseline phase.
- •During baseline phase subjects must experience moderate-to-severe headache at least 8 days and headache at least 15 days to enter the treatment phase (to be randomized).

- •Known comprised respiratory function.
- •Member of investigational site staff or relative of the investigator.
- •Severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease such as ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction or previous stroke or transient ischemic attack, major CVD interventions during the last three months.
- •Expected poor compliance, i.e., considered unlikely to be able to complete all protocol required study visits or procedures, and/or to comply with all required study procedures to the best of the subject’s and investigator’s knowledge.
- •Ongoing and unstable severe psychiatric disease.
- •Anamnestic or clinical symptoms of any kind that are deemed relevant for study participation by the physician who examines the patient.
- •A history of migraine or tension-type headache more than 5 days per month before the TBI.
- •Medication-overuse headache according to the according to The International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition.
