Neurologists can only classify headaches, not patients. Doing that, they are well aware that this is partially arbitrary. But classification is essential, especially for primary headaches (migraine, tension type headache, cluster headache) to achieve epidemiological and physiopathological studies. The criteria of definition for each type of headache must be established with pertinence. Neurologists, general practitioners as well as radiologists can then use these criteria to imagine an algorithm for the diagnostic procedure of headache patients. The aim of this publication is to describe the IHS classification as well as some common clinical situations (migraine, subarachnoidal haemorrhage, brain tumor, mild head injury.
神经科医生只能对头痛进行分类，而不能对患者进行分类。他们很清楚这样做在一定程度上是主观的。但分类至关重要，特别是对于原发性头痛（偏头痛、紧张型头痛、丛集性头痛）而言，这对于开展流行病学和生理病理学研究是必不可少的。必须恰当地确立每种头痛类型的定义标准。然后，神经科医生、全科医生以及放射科医生可以利用这些标准来构想头痛患者诊断程序的算法。本出版物的目的是描述国际头痛协会（IHS）的分类以及一些常见的临床情况（偏头痛、蛛网膜下腔出血、脑肿瘤、轻度头部损伤）。
