Trial Outcomes & Findings for "Completeness of Response" Following Treatment With Treximet™ for Migraine (NCT NCT00893737)

NCT ID: NCT00893737

Last Updated: 2011-01-25

Results Overview

CORS scores for Pain (0-4), Associated Symptoms (0-4), Limbic/Affective Symptoms (0-5), and Speed of Return to Functionality (1-5), represent outcome measures that are relevant to patients. Higher scores represent better treatment efficacy. The analysis compares CORS scores for usual triptan (pre-study) versus (vs.) Treximet (study medication).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Visit 1 (screening) and Visit 2 (study completion following 2-month treatment period)

CORS completed at Visit 1 regarding participant pre-study triptan and at Visit 2 regarding Treximet taken in study. Areas of therapeutic advantage evaluated: How often does 1 dose completely relieve (1) headache pain (2) neck/shoulder pain (3) nausea (4) light sensitivity (5) sound sensitivity (6) irritability. How quickly can/do you (1) concentrate or think clearly (2) resume normal activities (3) function normally (4) feel completely normal. How confident are you that (1) one dose will completely relieve migraine within 2 hours (2) once relieved, migraine will not return within 24 hours.
