Sponsor's own description

This is a prospective, double-blind, sham-controlled, randomized study to assess the safety, tolerability, and optimal dose of the COOLSTAT Transnasal Thermal Regulating Device for acute treatment of migraine. The hypothesis is that evaporative cooling induced by the CoolStat using only ambient, dry air will reduce the pain and other symptoms of migraine headaches during an acute migraine episode.
