According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial (NCT01516892) involved 716 people who all received BOTOX® (botulinum toxin type A). The trial was looking at people with chronic migraine and tracked them over a long period — up to about two years (108 weeks). It measured things like how many days per month participants experienced headaches, and how much headaches were affecting their day-to-day life. Of the 716 people who started, 373 completed the trial and 343 did not finish. The reported data shows that, on average, participants started with around 22 headache days in a 28-day period at the beginning of the trial (the "baseline"). By around the two-year mark (Week 108), the reported average change was a reduction of approximately 10.7 headache days per 28-day period compared to that starting point. An earlier measurement at around Week 60 (roughly 14 months in) showed a reported average reduction of about 9.2 headache days per 28-day period from baseline. The reported data also shows results from a questionnaire called the HIT-6, which scores how much headaches affect a person's life — with 36 meaning no impact and 78 meaning the worst possible impact. Participants started with an average score of 64.7. The reported data shows average score reductions of 6.8 points at one time point and 7.1 points at another, with a lower score meaning less reported impact on daily life.
