The study is to primarily investigate whether Treximet® (Imitrex RT/naproxen sodium 500mg)
taken at the first onset of menstrual migraine will both terminate the acute headache and
assist in preventing headache recurrence and the need for repeat abortive therapy over the
ensuing days of menses.

4. History of menstrual migraine by ICHD criteria
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Not actively practicing adequate contraception or intending to continue to do so
during the treatment.
2. 15 or more days of headache during each of the prior 3 months
3. Prior use of Treximet for the treatment of menstrual migraine
4. Uncontrolled hypertension
5. Hemiplegic or basilar migraine
6. Clinical evidence of coronary artery disease or other clinically significant and
relevant cardiac disease (e.g. vasospastic angina)
7. History of stroke or transient ischemic attack
