#TitleAllocationBlindingRoles blindedArms
1 Drug intervention
It will be a multicentre, randomized, triple blind (blinded patients, study personnel, and statistician), parallel group study, comparing Atorvastin 40 mg against placebo. There will be four Norwegian Centre. Altogether, 300 patients with chronic migraine will be included. The primary endpoint is change in number of migraine days/4 weeks from the baseline period to the treatment period. Secondary endpoints are number of responders (≥ 50% improvement from baseline), number of patients with adverse events, doses of triptans or analgesics per 4 weeks, and days with sick leave per 4 weeks.
Randomised Controlled Double [{"id":66331,"code":4,"name":"Analyst"},{"id":66329,"code":1,"name":"Subject"},{"id":66330,"code":2,"name":"Investigator"}] Placebo: 1 tablet per day in 12 week
