A Non-Invasive Neuromodulation Device for Treatment of Migraine Headache

INCLUSION CRITERIA

• The patient must have been diagnosed with episodic Migraine Headache at least 6 months prior to entering into the Study, consistent with the International Headache Classification of Headache Disorders-II (ICHD-II) guidelines.
• The patient must have a history of at least three consecutive months of stable Migraine Headaches prior to entering the Study. The patients will not have had changes in medication usage for the three Months leading up to the Study, nor will they introduce new medications during the Study period. Patients will satisfy these criteria: On a Monthly basis, at least four, and not more than a total of fourteen (4-14), Headache Days (Pain Score between one and ten) of which between four and nine (4-14) are Migraine Headache Days
• The patient must not have failed on more than two classes of properly administered prophylactic pharmaceutical therapies for migraine headache. The patient may be on a single migraine prophylactic as long as the dosage has not been altered within 3 months of starting the study and the dosage must not be altered for the duration of the study.
• The Investigator must have confidence in the patient's ability to reliably use the Experimental Device and promptly complete the Daily Headache Diary forms. The Daily Headache Diary will be completed from the beginning of the Pre-Treatment Baseline Period through the end of the Pivotal Study.
