Other names: Dihydroergotamine Mesylate

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Attacks With Sustained Freedom From Headache Pain 2-48 Hours (Modified Intent to Treat Population)

    Time frame: At Month 12 of Study Medication Dosing

    The subject's rating was documented on a four-point scale from no pain (= 0), mild pain (= 1), moderate pain (= 2) to severe pain (= 3). Pain freedom means the pain went from moderate (2) or severe (3) to no pain (0).

  2. Percentage of Participants With Attacks With Sustained Freedom From Most Bothersome Symptom 2-48 Hours (Modified Intent to Treat Population)

    Time frame: At Month 12 of Study Drug Administration

    Subjects were prompted to document the presence of 3 symptoms (photophobia, phonophobia, and nausea) immediately before study drug administration and during the treated migraine attack.
