  1. Percentages are based on the total number of subjects in the full analysis set. P—value is derived from a Chi-square test or exact test for categorical variables and from t-test or Wilcoxon test for continuous variables. BMI is calculated as follows: (body weight in kg)/ (height in m)2; percentages for BMI categories are based on the total number of patients who had BMI data in the full analysis set. BMI, body mass index; MHD, monthly headache/migraine days; MSMD, monthly acute migraine-specific medication days; n, number of patients; N, total number of patients; NA, not available; PPTF, previous preventive treatment failure; SD, standard deviation
