Registered outcomes7
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Pain Relief at 2 Hours After Treatment | 2 hours after treatment | Participants reporting pain relief defined as a reduction of headache severity from grades 2 or 3 (moderate or severe pain) at baseline to grades 0 or 1 (no headache or mild pain) at 2 hours after treatment |
| Primary | Time to Relief Within 2 Hours After Treatment | within 2 hours after treatment | Participants reporting time to relief (defined as the first time that a participant reported grade 0 or 1 in headache severity within 2 hours after treatment (for the comparison of rizatriptan 5 mg and sumatriptan 50 mg). |
| Secondary | Pain Free at 2 Hours After Treatment | 2 hours after treatment | Participants pain free (defined as a reduction of headache severity to grade 0 \[no pain\]) at 2 hours after treatment. Each participant rated headache severity on a 4-grade scale (0 = no headache; 1 = mild pain; 2 = moderate pain; 3 = severe pain). |
| Secondary | Lack of Functional Disability at 2 Hours After Treatment as Measured by the Level of Impairment in Daily Activities | 2 hours after treatment | Participants with no functional disability measured by the level of impairment to daily activities at 2 hours after treatment. Each participant rated functional disability on a 4-grade scale (0 =normal; 1 = daily activities mildly impaired; 2 = daily activities severely impaired; 3 =unable to carry out daily activities, required bed rest). |
| Secondary | Presence or Absence of Associated Symptoms (Photophobia, Phonophobia, Nausea, and Vomiting) at 2 Hours After Treatment | 2 hours after treatment | Participants who recorded the presence or absence of the associated symptoms photophobia, phonophobia, nausea, and vomiting at 2 hours after treatment. |
| Secondary | Participants Who Used Escape Medication 2 Hours After the Treatment Dose | 2 hours after treatment | Escape medication is defined as rescue medication for participants who experienced lack of efficacy from the study medication. |
| Secondary | Duration of Relief (Time to Recurrence From the Time of First Recorded Pain Relief [Grade = 0 or 1]) | 24 hours | Duration of relief or the time to recurrence from the time of first recorded pain relief (grade = 0 or 1) was calculated for responders who had a headache recurrence |

| Type | Outcome | Time frame | Population | Units | Measured as |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PRIMARY | Pain Relief at 2 Hours After Treatment | 2 hours after treatment | An all-participants-treated approach was used in the primary analysis, including all participants who had at least one assessment of pain severity within 2 hours after dose. Missing data were replaced by carrying forward the preceding value. | Participants | NUMBER |
| PRIMARY | Time to Relief Within 2 Hours After Treatment | within 2 hours after treatment | An all-participants-treated approach was used in the primary analysis, including all participants who had at least one assessment of pain severity within 2 hours after test medication. | Participants | NUMBER |
| SECONDARY | Pain Free at 2 Hours After Treatment | 2 hours after treatment | An all-participants-treated approach was used in the secondary analysis, including all participants who had at least one assessment of pain severity within 2 hours after test medication. Missing data were replaced by carrying forward the preceding value. | Participants | NUMBER |

| SECONDARY | Presence or Absence of Associated Symptoms (Photophobia, Phonophobia, Nausea, and Vomiting) at 2 Hours After Treatment | 2 hours after treatment | All-participants-treated approach was used. Missing data were replaced by carrying forward the preceding value. Participants Analyzed For Nausea: Rizatriptan 348; Sumatriptan 352; Placebo 78. Participants Analyzed for Vomiting: Rizatriptan 342; Sumatriptan 342; Placebo 73. Number of participants analyzed is correct for the other categories. | Participants | NUMBER |

| SECONDARY | Duration of Relief (Time to Recurrence From the Time of First Recorded Pain Relief [Grade = 0 or 1]) | 24 hours | The duration of relief, or the time to recurrence from the time of first recorded pain relief (grade = 0 or 1), was calculated for responders who had a headache recurrence. | Hours | MEAN |
