Arm Description

Two treatment sessions in the double-blind phase and three treatment sessions in the open-label extension phase. Total minimum dose is 155 U with 31 fixed-site, fixed dose injections across seven specific head/neck muscle areas with the total maximum dose of 195 U with 39 head/neck injections.

Two treatment sessions in the double-blind phase. Total minimum dose in 155 U with 31 fixed-site, fixed dose injections across seven specific head/neck muscle areas and the total maximum dose is 195 U with 39 head/neck injections.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in Frequency of Headache Episodes
Mean change from baseline in frequency (number) of headache episodes during the 28 day period ending with Week 24. Headache episode defined as patient-reported headache with a start and stop time indicating that the pain lasted >= 4 continuous hours.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in Frequency of Headache Days
Mean change from baseline in frequency (number) of headache days during the 28 day period ending with Week 24. Headache day defined as a calendar day [00:00 to 23:59] for which the patient reported >= 4 continuous hours of headache
Change in Frequency of Acute Headache Pain Medication Intakes
Mean change from baseline in frequency (number) of acute headache pain medication intakes during the 28 day period ending with Week 24. Medication intakes defined as the number of times a patient took acute headache pain medication regardless of dose or type/number of medications taken at the same time.
Change in Frequency of Migraine/Probable Migraine Headache Days
Mean change from baseline in frequency (number) of migraine/probable migraine headache days during the 28 day period ending with Week 24. Headache day defined as a calendar day with >= 4 continuous hours of headache meeting ICHD-II criteria for migraine or probable migraine.
Change in Frequency of Migraine/Probable Migraine Headache Episodes
Mean change from baseline in frequency (number) of migraine/probable migraine headache episodes during the 28 day period ending with Week 24. Headache episode defined as patient-reported headache with a start and stop time indicating that the pain lasted >= 4 continuous hours and met ICHD-II criteria for migraine or probable migraine.
