Change in Monthly Migraine Days (MMD) From Baseline to the Last 28 Days of Treatment Period.

Migraine headaches must be moderate or severe and lasting ≥30 minutes. When the patient falls asleep during migraine and wakes up without it, duration of the attack is reckoned until the time of awakening).
Time frame: From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-days double-blinded treatment period.
The Number of Participants With More Than 50% Improvement in the Mean Monthly Migraine Days (MMDs)
MMD stands for change in Monthly Migraine Days from 28-day baseline to the last 28 days of the double-blind treatment period
Time frame: From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-days double-blinded treatment period.
The Number of Participants With More Than 75% Improvement in the Mean Monthly Migraine Days (MMDs)
Time frame: From the28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-day treatment period.
The Number of Participants With 100% Improvement in Mean MMD in the Last 28 Days Double-blinded Treatment Period.

Mean Monthly Acute Migraine Medication Treatment Days Change From Baseline to Last 28 Days of Treatment
Time frame: From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-day treatment period.
