Guidelines/Instructions
HEADACHE: 0 = no pain and 10 = the worst pain Severity assessment in headache trials is most commonly collected as mild, moderate, severity;however pain severity is most commonly collected using an 10-point scale. It's unclear which of the two scales is more robust in differentiating active versus placebo or between two active treatments. We would recommend the use of both scales for future Preventive trials.
Investigators should provide a definition of pain threshold for their particular study. (Example threshold: 0 = No pain, 10 = Most severe pain)
