Study Summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of prophylactic (preventative) treatment with BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) compared to topiramate in adults with chronic migraine.

Primary Outcome

Participants recorded their headaches in a daily e-diary. A headache day was defined as a calendar day (00:00 to 23:59) with 4 or more hours of headache and/or headache of any duration with the use of migraine-specific acute headache medication(s). The number of headache days over the 28-day period was counted. The percentage of participants with a ≥ 50% decrease in headache days in the 28-day period prior to Week 32 relative to Baseline (28-day period prior to Day 1) is reported.
