The purpose of the study is to investigate if the use of gammaCore Sapphire™ device reduces the number of migraines preventatively.
The study is a prospective randomized, multi-center, double-blind, parallel, sham-controlled study, designed for comparison of two parallel groups, gammaCore®-Sapphire (active treatment) and a sham (inactive) treatment.
The study period will begin with a four-week run-in period, during which there is no investigational treatment. The purpose of the run-in period will be to establish a baseline of the subject's headache/migraine history for longitudinal comparison.
The run-in period will be followed by a 12-week randomized period when the subjects will be randomized (1:1) to either active treatment or sham (inactive) treatment.
Subjects will dose themselves 3 times per day for 12 weeks.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| gammaCore Sapphire active | Active Comparator | Treatment 3 times per day, every day for the 12-week treatment period Each of the 3 daily treatments comprises 2 consecutive 120-second stimulations on 1 side, ipsilateral (2 stimulations) to the side of predominate pain, upon waking, lunch time (i.e., between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM), and prior to sleep, for a total of 6 stimulations per day |
|
| gammaCore Sapphire Sham | Sham Comparator | Treatment 3 times per day, every day for the 12-week treatment period Each of the 3 daily treatments comprises 2 consecutive 120-second stimulations on 1 side, ipsilateral (2 stimulations) to the side of predominate pain, upon waking, lunch time (i.e., between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM), and prior to sleep, for a total of 6 stimulations per day |

| gammaCore Sapphire active | Device | GammaCore Sapphire™ is a handheld, non-invasive, low voltage electrical device which stimulates the vagus nerve by producing weak 120 second electrical stimulation cycles that may help reduce, ease, lessen or stop your migraine symptoms. GammaCore Sapphire™ has been approved for the treatment of headache, including migraine by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Safety and effectiveness of gammaCore Sapphire as a treatment for the prevention of a migraine during the double-blind period measured by Incidence of Unexpected Adverse Events. | The primary outcome measurement for effectiveness is the difference between the active and sham treatment groups in the mean reduction in number of migraine days during the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind period (versus during the 4-week run-in period). | 12 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Responder rate in the nVNS group compared to the sham group | A subject who reports at least a 50% decrease in the number of migraine days during the last 4 weeks in the 12-week double-blind period | Last 4 weeks of the 12 week double-blind |
| Mean reduction in the number of headache days |
