Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in the Number of Moderate-to-severe Headache Days Per Month

    A moderate-to-severe headache day will be defined as any calendar day with: 1. headache pain that lasts ≥4 hours AND peak severity of moderate or severe intensity OR 2. a subject taking a triptan or ergot, regardless of headache pain duration or severity The Baseline number was calculated as the total count of eDiary calendar days which meet the definition of a moderate-to-severe headache day during the first 30 calendar days of eDiary entries if the eDiary contained ≥70% of data. The 6 months post-randomization number was calculated as the total count of eDiary calendar days which meet the definition of a moderate-to-severe headache day during the 30 calendar days of eDiary entries immediately preceding the subject's 6-Month Visit if the eDiary contained ≥70% of data.

    from Baseline to 6 months post-randomization

Study Arms (2)

Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

The treatment is continuous stimulation with an occipital nerve stimulator, specifically the BSC Precision™ ONS System for 6 months post-randomization

Device: Occipital nerve stimulator

Control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The control is intermittent stimulation for 20 seconds every 90 minutes with an occipital nerve stimulator, specifically the BSC Precision™ ONS System for 6 months post-randomization

Device: Occipital nerve stimulator

Interventions

Electrical stimulation of the greater occipital nerve
