Participant Flow

A multicenter trial with 24 sites with enrolled subjects and 23 sites with randomized subjects from 15 Feb 2007 to 17 Jul 2008.

Subjects on stable dose of prophylactic medication entered a 2-week Wash-Out Period followed by a 4-week Baseline Period without any prophylactic medication. Subjects not taking prophylactic medication entered the Baseline Period directly for 6 weeks. Subjects entered a 3-week Titration Period and if completed entered a 14-week Maintenance Period.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Entire 14-week Maintenance Period

Population: Of the 72 (Placebo), 72 (Lacosamide 100mg) and 74 (Lacosamide 300mg) subjects randomized, 71, 70, and 74 subjects respectively are included in this summary based on the Full Analysis Set (must have Baseline and at least one post-Baseline efficacy value). This summary uses a Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) approach.

Headache Impact Test (HIT-6™) consists of 6 items designed to measure the impact headaches have on a person's ability to function. Scores from the 6 questions will be added to create a total score. Range of the total score is 36 to 78. Higher scores indicate a greater impact on the subject's quality of life.
