  2. aNonresponder group = <50% reduction in headache-day frequency at week 24
  3. b P-values are the pairwise t-test or the Fisher’s exact test between the O/O vs the P/O groups for each respective population group
  4. cHIT-6 scores of 36–49 indicate little or no impact; 50–55, some impact; 56–59, substantial impact; 60–78, severe impact
  5. dMSQ v2.1 scores range from 0 (poor) to 100 (good)
