Cephalalgia, 08/11/09
Olesen O et al. – In the present paper the authors propose maintaining a standard approach to the secondary headaches using a set of four criteria A, B, C and D, but we construct these so that the requirement for resolution or successful treatment is removed. The proposal for general diagnostic criteria for the secondary headaches will be entered into the internet–based version of the appendix of ICHD–II. During 2009 the Classification Committee will apply the general criteria to all the specific types of secondary headaches. These, and other changes, will be included in a revision of the entire classification entitled ICHD–IIR, expected to be published in 2010. ICHD–IIR will be printed and posted on the website and will be the official classification of the International Headache Society. Until the printing of ICHD–IIR, the printed ICHD–II criteria remain in place for all other purposes. The authors issue a plea to the headache community to use and study these proposed general criteria for the secondary headaches in order to provide more evidence for their utility—before their incorporation in the main body of the classification.
