Key: “Side” = the laterality of migraine attacks (B = Bilateral, L = Left unilateral, R = Right unilateral, U = Unilateral, alternating sides); “Pain w/o med” = average pain intensity reported during a migraine attack when no abortive medication is taken. Pain intensity was reported using a numeric rating scale from 0–10; “Pain w/med” = the average pain intensity reported during a migraine attack when abortive medication is taken.
