ICHD classification and diagnosis of migraine

Migraine

The classification of all headaches, including migraines, is organized by the International Headache Society, and published in the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD). The current version, the ICHD-3 beta, was published in 2013.[1]

The first category within the ICHD is Migraine. Migraines in general are considered to be a neurological syndrome. It is estimated that 11% (303 million) of the global population,[2][3][4] including 43 million Europeans[5] and 28 million Americans,[6] experience migraines.
