In the field of primary headaches, we have a very useful classification tool for the clinical characterization of individual attacks, but we lack a classification tool for the characterization of primary headache patients. Just because the reasons for this lack have been partially overcome by the knowledge that has been gained in the meantime and because clinicians and researchers are increasingly pressed to find new and reliable ways to manage certain primary headache forms, including so-called chronic migraine, we now have an imperative commitment to provide a syndrome classification.
在原发性头痛领域，我们有一个非常有用的分类工具，用于对个体发作进行临床特征描述，但我们缺乏用于描述原发性头痛患者的分类工具。这仅仅是因为，尽管与此同时获得的知识部分地克服了这种缺乏的原因，而且临床医生和研究人员越来越迫切地需要寻找新的和可靠的方法来管理某些原发性头痛形式，包括所谓的慢性偏头痛，但我们现在有一个强制性的承诺，即提供一种综合征分类。
