Review-criteria version: 1.0

Clinical papers were not read directly; existing review summaries were checked. No new clinical-literature search was performed. Unverified does not mean that research is absent or that there is no effect.

## Assessment scope

- Population: The selected outcome concerns the S02 registered phase 4 trial in episodic tension-type headache, preserving 209 starters, 189 in FAS and 94 versus 95. Diagnosis, age, eligibility and analysis-exclusion details are unverified. S01's 41 participants and 164 attacks belong to a different report context and are not added or used as the same denominator.
- Ingredient, formulation and route: The account concerns topical 10% peppermint oil in ethanol repeatedly applied to the forehead and temples. S02's exact vehicle, ethanol concentration, manufacturing and quality are not linked. Findings are not extended to inhaled aroma, oral capsules or migraine.
- Dose: S01's 10% oil, 90% ethanol and 0, 15 and 30-minute schedule are preserved early-crossover conditions. They are not automatically assigned as S02's application amount, repeat schedule or identical formulation. No new dose calculations, preparation or personal-use instructions are created.
- Comparator: The direct selected outcome is S02's comparison with placebo. Exact vehicle, sensory matching, blinding, concurrent care and rescue-medication details are unverified. S01's vehicle or acetaminophen comparison and the equivalence question are separate contexts.
- Measured outcome: The first primary endpoint is 120-minute VPRS response, 37/94 versus 28/95, preserving failure to meet the prespecified one-sided Fisher .025 threshold. The hierarchically second VAS-SPID endpoint is exploratory. Two-sided P≈.101 is a historical Codex calculation, not the trial's prespecified one-sided P or a new calculation in this work.
- Duration: The selection is acute response at 120 minutes, distinct from S01's pain findings from 15 minutes. Other follow-up measurement windows, repeated use, long-term outcomes and harms in vulnerable groups are unverified. An early-time signal is not converted into persistent follow-up effects.
- Questions outside this scope: Do not convert the early 41 participants and 164 attacks into the same participant count or follow-up analysis denominator.; Do not transfer early 90% ethanol or the 0, 15 and 30-minute schedule as the follow-up trial's identical formulation or application schedule.; Distinguish the values and attribution of the prespecified one-sided .025 threshold and historical two-sided P≈.101 without a new calculation.; Do not convert exploratory VAS-SPID or no difference from acetaminophen into selected-response success or equivalence.; Do not add registration identifiers, reports or sharing across parent and subclaims as new independent trial, participant or replication totals, or create new application guidance.

Göbel H et al. 1996

[PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8805113/)

Materials actually read: Complete stored parent summary and paper bibliography read; external paper, registration, plans and support materials unread  
Findings recorded in the summary: Less pain than placebo at P<.01; no difference from acetaminophen does not establish equivalence  
Record level: Pain findings from 15 minutes in 41 participants and 164 headache attacks are preserved. Repeated attacks are not participant counts and do not directly confirm S02's 120-minute response. Exact crossover analysis, support and independence details are unverified.  
Independent replication: The early Göbel report and later Euminz results retain distinct original design, timing and outcome contexts. EudraCT 2011-004777-89 and NCT01770080 are preserved links to the follow-up trial and are not added as separate independent trials. Reuse across parent and subclaims does not create new participants or independent replication; unique totals remain unverified.

## Review criteria and methods

These are Chamgap's own application conditions, informed by the relevant sections of official methodological guidance. They do not constitute official assessment-tool certification or a new efficacy score.

- M03 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-03) · §3.1, §3.2.1–3.2.3, MECIR C5/C7/C13 · Clearly record the question, eligibility conditions and reasons for changes, and distinguish variations in interventions. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M04 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5.1 (2025), chapter updated 2025-03](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-04) · §4.5, §4.6.1–4.6.3, MECIR C42 · Distinguish studies from reports and link them; do not omit a study solely because results are unreported. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M08 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-08) · §8.1–8.2.3, Table 8.2.a · Define the outcome and effect of interest, then examine randomization, deviations, missing data, measurement and selective reporting. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M15 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-15) · §15.2.4, §15.3.1–15.3.3 · Distinguish effect estimates, intervals, importance and applicability. Sample size alone does not determine precision. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M19 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-19) · §19.1.2, §19.2.1–19.2.4 · Harm questions may require different designs, populations and follow-up from efficacy questions. Case reports do not establish incidence rates. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.

## What the statuses mean

- Partly verified: Partial information from the stored summary is linked; detailed originals and content review remain incomplete.
- Unverified: Required details cannot be established within the preserved scope. This does not establish absence of effects or studies, or safety.
- Review incomplete: Review of existing content remains incomplete.
- Met: This state is used only within the relevant conditions after material verification and content review. It was not automatically assigned in this work.
- Not reported: Unreported within material actually read. Unread external material is not relabeled as unreported.
- Inaccessible: This means actual access failure. External access was not attempted in this work, so this state was not assigned.
- Not applicable: Used only with an application exception and reason based on the question scope.
- Conflicting data: This requires actual comparison of materials; no new conflict judgment was made in this work.
- Insufficient evidence for the conditions: This indicates gaps in additional material for the selected conditions. Unread material as a whole is not converted into an efficacy grade.
