Headache Classification History
History of Migraine 3000 BC, Sumeria the sick headache The sick-eyed says not - I am sick-eyed The sick-headed not - I am sick-headed
History of Migraine 400 BC, Hippocrates Shining light followed by violent pain in the temples
History of Migraine 2nd Century AD, Aretaeus of Cappadocia Heterocrania (one-sided headache with blackness before the eyes, nausea, vomiting, photophobia and osmophobia 200 AD, Galen Migraine is Greek for hemicrania
History of Childhood Migraine 1949, Vahlquist and Hackzell Attacks separated by Sx free intervals Two of: nausea, flimmer scotoma, hemicrania, FHx
Classification of Headache Ad Hoc Committee, 1962 Vascular headache of migraine type Muscle-contraction headache Combined headache 12 other headache syndromes
Classification of Headache Ad Hoc Committee, 1962 Vascular headache of migraine type Classic migraine Common migraine Cluster headache Hemiplegic and ophthalmoplegic migraine Lower-half headache
History of Childhood Migraine Prensky, Ped Cl N Amer, 1976 1976, Prensky Recurrent with symptom free intervals Three our of six features Abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting Localized unilateral/hemicrania Throbbing, pulsatile quality Complete relief after a brief period of sleep Aura - visual, sensory, or motor Family history
History of Childhood Migraine Prensky, Ped Cl N Amer, 1976 1976, Prensky Abrupt or slow worsening Vary greatly in severity Do not need to interrupt activity Occur at any time of day Abdominal pain/nausea/vomiting without headache
ICHD 1988 International Classification of Headache Disorders 3 years to develop, 12 subcommittees, expert opinion based 2004 2 nd Edition Research testing of ICHD led to changes Revision later of Medication overuse Website development 2013 3 rd Edition (beta) Beta for testing and to synchronize with ICD-11

Classification of Headache International Classification of Headache Disorders 3 rd Edition (beta version), Cephalalgia, 2013 Basic Concepts Hierarchical Diagnosis for current headache or within the past year (genetics is lifetime) Diagnosis each distinct type 1.1 Migraine without aura 1.2 Migraine with aura 8.2 Medication-overuse headache
Classification of Headache International Classification of Headache Disorders 3 rd Edition (beta version), Cephalalgia, 2013 Basic Concepts Hierarchical Diagnosis for current headache or within the past year (genetics is lifetime) Diagnosis each distinct type In order of importance Sometimes a minimum number of attacks to meet criteria, but frequency not typically required
Classification of Headache International Classification of Headache Disorders 3 rd Edition (beta version), Cephalalgia, 2013 Basic Concepts Primary vs. secondary vs. both If new headache first occurs in close temporal relation, with causation = secondary disorder Even if primary headache characteristics When a pre-existing primary becomes chronic or significantly worsens in close temporal relation Diagnose both primary and secondary headache
Classification of Headache International Classification of Headache Disorders 3 rd Edition (beta version), Cephalalgia, 2013 Basic Concepts Primary vs. secondary vs. both Not all headaches required to meet criteria to make diagnosis May be due to treatment Inability to recall Can ask for typical or untreated headache
Classification of Headache International Classification of Headache Disorders 3 rd Edition (beta version), Cephalalgia, 2013 Basic Concepts Primary vs. secondary vs. both Not all headaches required to meet criteria to make diagnosis Diary can help diagnosis and separation of multiple types Secondary headache does not require remission/substantial improvement Medication overuse can be diagnosed before recovery from MOH
Classification of Headache International Classification of Headache Disorders 3 rd Edition (beta version), Cephalalgia, 2013 Basic Concepts Primary vs. secondary vs. both Not all headaches required to meet criteria to make diagnosis Diary can help diagnosis and separation of multiple types Secondary headache does not require remission/substantial improvement Appendix for research
ICHD I to II to 3b General evolution of diagnosis through testing and validation Consistent Structure (although with some variability) Primary Headaches A. Number of required attacks B. Time duration C. Headache Characteristics D. Associated features E. Rule out other causes Secondary Headaches A. Presence of Headache B. Presence of causative disorder C. Evidence of causation
Changes in ICHD-3b Migraine Migraine without aura Pediatric Note - Duration 2-72 hours (vs. 1-72 with diary) Sleep included in duration Pediatric specific notes eliminated and in comments Pediatric and adolescents (<18 years old) Evolutionary change in location Migraine with aura ICHD-3b changed to 6 auras (visual, sensory, speech and/or language, motor, brainstem, and retinal) Basilar-type migraine is now an aura (Migraine with Brainstem Aura)
Changes in ICHD-3b Migraine Chronic migraine Added in ICHD-II, modified in ICHD-2R ICHD-3b Majority of headaches meet criteria for migraine or respond to migraine treatment Episodic syndromes that may be associated with migraine Formerly Childhood periodic syndromes Recognizes may occur in adults
Changes in ICHD-3b Tension-type Headaches 3 subtypes by frequency Infrequent (10 episodes, < 1/month) Frequent (10 episodes, 1-14 days/month) Chronic (>15 days/month, >3 months)
Changes in ICHD-3b Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalagias Cluster headache moved under this category Paroxysmal Hemicrania SUNCT and SUNA Common TAC features Brief duration headaches Autonomic abnormalities Divided into episodic and chronic Hemicrania continua moved into this category
Changes in ICHD-3b Other primary Headaches associated with exertion Headaches associated with external stimuli Epicrania Miscellaneous NDPH
Changes in ICHD-3b Secondary headaches General criteria A. Any headache fulfilling criterion C B. Another disorder scientifically documented to be able to cause headaches has been diagnosed C. Evidence of causation (2 of 4) 1. Headache developed in temporal relation 2. One or both a. Headache significantly worsened with causative disorder b. Headache significantly improved with treatment of causative disorder 3. Headache characteristics typical for causative disorder 4. Other evidence of causation D. Rule out other causes
Changes in ICHD-3b Secondary headaches basic concepts Cause and effect reduced, just needs to be consistent Causative disorder can cause a primary headache phenotype or worsen and existing primary phenotype
Changes in ICHD-3b Secondary headaches specific highlights Post-traumatic headache within 7 days from head injury or awakening from head injury ICH Pressure required to be >250 mmcsf, but with comment that up to 280 mmcsf may be normal in children MOH (should it just be Medication overuse?) Example of transition to a relatively established criteria Removed specific agent requirement Removed requirement to resolve after cessation Can have both CM and MOH
Conclusions ICHD-3b is beta Intended to be tested before finalization in 1-2 years ICHD revisions a continuing process Evidence and validation is continuing Genetics and biomarkers may be included in future Recommended reading ICHD 3b (Cephalagia, 2013) ICHD-III Changes and Challenges (M.
