Study Summary

Evaluate the effectiveness of air insufflation in aborting (stopping) an acute episode of migraine and compare it with a placebo effect of using the same procedure but without active insufflation. The insufflation will be used when the subject is experiencing an acute episode of migraine to determine its ability to reduce, if not to completely eliminate the migraine symptoms. Subjects receiving the placebo treatment will be offered the active treatment during the subsequent episode of migraine.

Primary Outcome

Subjects will grade the severity of their symptoms on a scale from 0 to 10. Changes in the symptoms severity scale will be assessed between pre and immediately post treatment

Interventions
