Summary

This is a pilot trial to collect data on the use of intravenous ibuprofen (IVIb) in the treatment of an acute migraine attack. Data will be collected on the efficacy of IVIb in subjects who are treated with study medication between 2 and 72 hours from time of onset of headache.

Periodic safety and efficacy assessments will be performed prior to and after study drug administration.

Pain relief is defined as a reduction in headache pain level from severe or moderate decreased to mild or headache-free, respectively.
