Migraine with aura diagnostic criteria (2).
| A. | At least two attacks fulfilling criteria B and C |
| B. | One or more of the following fully reversible aura symptoms: |
| 1 visual | |
| 2 sensory | |
| 3 speech and/or language | |
| 4 motor | |
| 5 brainstem | |
| 6 retinal | |
| C. | At least three of the following six characteristics: |
| 1 at least one aura symptom spreads gradually over ≥5 minutes | |
| 2 two or more aura symptoms occur in succession | |
| 3 each individual aura symptom lasts 5–60 minutesa | |
| 4 at least one aura symptom is unilateralb | |
| 5 at least one aura symptom is positivec | |
| 6 the aura is accompanied, or followed within 60 minutes, by headache | |
| D. | Not better accounted for by another ICHD-3 diagnosis |
Reproduced with permission of International Headache Society (2).aWhen, for example, three symptoms occur during an aura, the acceptable maximal duration is 3 × 60 minutes. Motor symptoms may last up to 72 hours.
bAphasia is always regarded as a unilateral symptom; dysarthria may or may not be.
cScintillations and pins and needles are positive symptoms of aura.

Figure 1.Mean change from baseline in MMDs over Weeks 1‒12 in the full study population and subgroup of patients with self-reported history of aura in (a) PROMISE-1 and (b) PROMISE-2.Differences between treatment groups were analyzed using an analysis of covariance model with change from baseline as the response variable and treatment and baseline migraine days as independent variables. MMD, monthly migraine days.*P = 0.0182; **P = 0.0001; ***P < 0.0001 vs. placebo (prespecified statistical testing).aTreatment difference vs. placebo (95% confidence interval) in change from baseline: 100 mg, −0.5 (−1.2, 0.2); 300 mg, −0.9(−1.5, −0.2).bTreatment difference vs. placebo (95% confidence interval) in change from baseline: 100 mg, −1.3 (−2.7, 0.2); 300 mg,−1.7 (−3.1, −0.3).

Figure 3.Mean “any” acute headache medication days per month in patients with migraine and self-reported history of auraa (PROMISE-1 and PROMISE-2 pooled efficacy population).Acute headache medications (AHM) included combination analgesics, ergotamine, opioids, simple analgesics, and triptans.aIf multiple drug classes were taken on a single day, the day was counted once.
