Brief Summary
In this study,189 adult migraine patients aged 18-65 years (diagnosed with migraine without aura and/or migraine with aura, with at least a 1-year history)will be collected to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Tizanidine Hydrochloride in preventing migraine attacks in episodic migraine in adults.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The Change of Migraine Days.
The change of migraine days per 4 weeks during the 12-week treatment period mpared with baseline.Baseline refers to the frequency of migraine attacks within the 28 days prior to randomization (baseline period, i.e., D-28 to D-1). Headache data were captured through an electronic diary.
12-week treatment period(Day 1-Day 84)
Secondary Outcomes (19)
The Change of Headache Attack Frequency
12-week treatment period(Day 1-Day 84)
The Change of Moderate / Severe Headache Days
12-week treatment period(Day 1-Day 84)
The Responder Rate of at Least 50%, 75% and 100% Reduction of Migraine Days.

- The age at first migraine onset should be \<50 years;
- Migraine attacks ≥ 4 days/month and \< 15 days/month within 3 months prior to screening period (Refer to the definition of migraine days);

- Headache days \< 14 days within 4 weeks of baseline period;
- Completion of at least 80% of the electronic diary within 4 weeks of the baseline period(Within 28 days of the baseline period, the electronic diary has been completed for at least 23 days), and the investigator believes that the subject is able to read, understand, and complete the study questionnaire and headache diary;
- Understand and abide by the research procedures and methods, voluntarily participate in this experiment, and sign the informed consent in writing, agreeing to enter the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of the drug.
You may not qualify if:
- Subjects with any of the following cannot participate in this study:
