Title
The Change in Pseudo-continuous Pain Score From Baseline to 1-hour Post Treatment
Description
as per the Statistical Considerations for Clinical Trials During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency" June 2020 FDA Guidance, which states that a modifications to the definition and ascertainment of trial endpoints may be warranted to address the impact of COVID-19. A potential modification for a binary endpoint that is based on a continuous or ordinal measurement is by using the continuous or ordinal measurement as the endpoint. therefore, an additional analysis to the study end points , the migraine headache pain level was transformed into a numerical score (pseudo-continuous): "No pain"=0, "Mild"=1, "Moderate"=2, "Severe"=3. If rescue medication was used, the score after the rescue intake post-treatment are set to the baseline value. The change from baseline is compared between the study arms with an analysis of covariance model adjusted for site and baseline pain level.
Time Frame
baseline to 1-hour post treatment
