Migraine headaches lead to absenteeism and can restrict on-the-job productivity (presenteeism) for employed migraine sufferers. Effective migraine treatments should reduce migraine-associated productivity losses and return migraineurs to normal functioning within a few hours of treatment.
This study is an observational, multicenter, parallel-group study of employed patients who have been prescribed either a combination product containing sumatriptan and naproxen sodium (SumaRT/Nap) or oral triptan monotherapy to treat acute migraine attacks. The study will report results from 4 migraine attacks per patient. Eligible migraine attacks will be defined as those preceded by a 24-hour, headache-free period with onset between 2 hours prior to the start of and 4 hours before the end of a scheduled work shift. Data will be collected at time of treatment and hourly until the end of the attack or the end of the workday. To estimate baseline productivity, data will be collected from 50 randomly selected subjects during a migraine-free workday.
The primary objective of this study is to compare migraine-related, work productivity losses (absenteeism and presenteeism) reported by patients treated with SumaRT/Nap to losses reported by patients treated with triptan monotherapy. The null hypothesis is that no difference will be observed between the number of hours of productivity lost for patients who treat workday migraine attacks with SumaRT/Nap and patients who treat migraine attacks with an oral triptan alone. The alternative hypotheses are that patients in either treatment group experience significantly fewer hours of lost productivity associated with migraine compared to patients in the other treatment group.
The secondary objectives of this study are to measure the time between treatment and return to patient-reported, normal functioning; to evaluate rescue medication use after initial treatment; to measure total productivity loss following treatment at hourly time points; and to estimate the probability of absenteeism when a migraine begins before or during the workday. The null hypotheses for the secondary endpoints are that no differences will be observed between the results reported by patients treating with SumaRT/Nap and patients treating with triptan monotherapy. The alternative hypotheses are that either treatment is superior to the other for each endpoint.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employed migraine sufferers | Diagnosed adult migraine sufferers who are employed at least 30 hours per week during a daytime shift |

| Combination therapy of sumatriptan and naproxen sodium (SumaRT/Nap) | Drug | This is an observational study and patients were prescribed this medication before study start |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Total Lost Productivity (absenteeism and presenteeism) measured by Lost Time Equivalents | Lost Time Equivalents = hours missed from work + [(100% - % effectiveness while working with symptoms)/100 x hours working with symptoms]. | Four qualifying migraine attacks must occur within 16 weeks of enrollment. Data collection begins at time of treatment and continues in hourly intervals until the end of the migraine attack or the end of the workday. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of patients returning to normal functioning as measured by the Clinical Disability Questionnaire (CDQ) | The CDQ uses one question to assess ability to perform normal or usual activities. Responses are recorded on a 5-point scale, where 1 is "normal/not impaired", 2 is "mildly impaired", 3 is "moderately impaired", 4 is "severely impaired", and 5 is '"required bedrest". Normal functioning is considered a score of "1" |
