Trial Outcomes

Change in Mean Migraine/Migrainous Days From Weeks 5-8 of Single-blind Treatment Phase to Weeks 5-8 of Randomized Treatment Phase for Each Group.

Change in mean migraine/migrainous days from weeks 5-8 of single-blind treatment phase to weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase for each group. (Medians reported when data were not normally distributed). (NCT03150797)
Timeframe: Weeks 5-8 of single-blind treatment phase to weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase.

Interventiondays (Median)
Melatonin 3mg2
Melatonin 6mg-1
Placebo Oral Capsule0

Mean CASQ (Cleveland Adolescent Sleepiness Questionnaire) Score in Weeks 5-8 of Randomized Treatment Phase in Melatonin Treated Group vs. Placebo, and in Each of the Three Pair-wise Group Comparisons.

Mean CASQ score in weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase in melatonin treated group vs. placebo, and in each of the three pair-wise group comparisons. The CASQ is a 16-question instrument that uses Likert-like responses and has a score range from 16-80; higher scores indicate greater sleepiness (NCT03150797)
Timeframe: Weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase.

Mean Migraine/Migrainous Days in Weeks 5-8 of Randomized Treatment Phase in Melatonin 3 mg vs. Placebo.

Mean migraine/migrainous days in weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase in melatonin 3 mg vs. placebo. (NCT03150797)
Timeframe: Weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase.

Mean Migraine/Migrainous Days in Weeks 5-8 of Randomized Treatment Phase in Melatonin 6 mg vs. Melatonin 3 mg.

Mean migraine/migrainous days in weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase in melatonin 6 mg vs. melatonin 3 mg. (NCT03150797)
Timeframe: Weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase.

Interventiondays (Median)

Mean Migraine/Migrainous Days in Weeks 5-8 of Randomized Treatment Phase in Melatonin 6 mg vs. Placebo.

Mean migraine/migrainous days in weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase in melatonin 6 mg vs. placebo. (Medians reported when data were not normally distributed). (NCT03150797)
Timeframe: Weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase.

Interventiondays (Median)
Melatonin 3mg2
Melatonin 6mg2
Placebo Oral Capsule2

Mean Migraine/Migrainous Days in Weeks 5-8 of Randomized Treatment Phase in Melatonin Treated Participants vs. Placebo.

Mean migraine/migrainous days in weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase in melatonin treated participants vs. placebo. (Ultimately, as the data were not normally distributed, medians were more appropriate). (NCT03150797)
Timeframe: weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase

Interventiondays (Median)
Melatonin 3mg2
Melatonin 6mg2

Number of Days Acute Medication is Used in Weeks 5-8 of Randomized Treatment Phase in Melatonin Treated Group vs. Placebo, and in Each of the Three Pair-wise Group Comparisons.

Number of days acute medication is used in weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase in melatonin treated group vs. placebo, and in each of the three pair-wise group comparisons. This refers to the number of days that medication for the acute treatment of headache was used during the time frame. (NCT03150797)
Timeframe: Weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase.

Interventiondays (Median)
Melatonin 3mg5
Melatonin 6mg3

Number of headache days in weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase in melatonin treated group vs. placebo, and in each of the three pair-wise group comparisons. This refers to number of headache days during the time period--regardless of whether they were migraine or not. (NCT03150797)
Timeframe: Weeks 5-8 of randomized treatment phase.

Interventiondays (Median)
Melatonin 3mg8
