* oral
* intravaginal
* transdermal
* progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation:
* oral
* injectable
* implantable
* intrauterine device (IUD)

Medical history related
8. Participant has, in the opinion of the investigator, other confounding pain syndromes, psychiatric conditions such as uncontrolled major depression, history of psychosis, dementia or significant neurological disorders other than migraine \[participants who are currently being treated with non-prohibited medication for depression and symptoms are well controlled, in the opinion of the investigator, are eligible to participate in this study\].
9. Participant is at imminent risk of self-harm, based on clinical interview and responses on the Columbia Suicidality Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), or of harm to others in the opinion of the investigator. Participants must be excluded if they report suicidal ideation with intent, with or without a plan (i.e., Type 4 or 5 on the C-SSRS) in the past 2 months or suicidal behavior in the past 6 months.
