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: 60 adults presenting to an emergency department with episodic migraine, 1–6 attacks per month
- Ingredient, formulation and route: Zingiber officinale rhizome extract, 400 mg capsule, nominally 5% active ingredient, as oral add-on therapy; detailed gingerol/shogaol composition and batch unverified
- Dose: A single 400 mg dose during an acute attack
- Comparator: Ginger extract versus cellulose placebo added to the same IV ketoprofen 100 mg in both groups
- Measured outcome: 2-hour pain-relief clinical response; distinct from complete pain freedom, with response criteria, group event counts, RR and 95% CI unverified
- Duration: Single dose and 2-hour follow-up; results at 1 hour, 1.5 hours and 2 hours are separate observation times
- Questions outside this scope: Pain relief is not extended to complete pain freedom at 2 hours, 24-hour persistence, reduced recurrence or migraine prevention under ID3009.; This is not converted to ginger monotherapy, intravenous ginger, ketoprofen replacement or triptan replacement.; The total 60 is not assumed to mean 30/30 per group or completion by everyone. The other comparison report’s 100 people and 5 attacks are not counted as 500 unique participants.; P values alone are not used to calculate events, effect magnitude, RR, CI or NNT, and nominal 5% is not used to calculate mg of individual active compounds.; A registration identifier clue, historical verdict or nonsignificance is not converted to verified prospective planning, new independent validation, equivalence or safety.

## 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. · Retained method-application records were reused. External originals were not reread and method 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. · Retained method-application records were reused. External originals were not reread and method 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. · Retained method-application records were reused. External originals were not reread and method 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. · Retained method-application records were reused. External originals were not reread and method 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. · Retained method-application records were reused. External originals were not reread and method content was not reassessed.

## What the statuses mean

- Partly verified: Some retained information is available, while material needed for this criterion remains unverified.
- Unverified: This criterion could not be established from the retained scope; this does not mean 0 studies, 0 effect or no harm.
- Review incomplete: Source comparison or searching within the permitted scope was not performed.
- Not reported: Limited to a specified read source or section that did not report the item.
- Inaccessible: Used only where access was actually attempted and failed; not assigned to clinical material here.
- Insufficient evidence for the conditions: Used only after reviewing relevant studies in the defined scope and finding evidence insufficient to answer the condition; not applied universally here.
- Not applicable: A specific exception based on applicability conditions; not a substitute for unread material.
- Conflicting data: Incompatible material was compared for the same question, time and analysis; different review estimates alone do not justify this status.
- Met: Confirms the stated retained information and reading, attribution or interpretation boundary; not certification of clinical efficacy, full-text reading or reassessment.
