Data presented as Mean (SD) [95% Confidence Interval], unless otherwise specified. Statistical tests represent paired t test for MmsHD and Wilcoxon signed ranks test for MHD for the 3, 6, 9, and 12 months end points compared to baseline.

Abbreviations: CI, Confidence interval; IIH, idiopathic intracranial hypertension; MHD, monthly total headache days; MmsHD, monthly moderate/severe headache days; MOH, medication overuse headache.
