AbstractA completely new classification system for headache disorders, cranial neuralgias and facial pain has been prepared by a headache classification committee working within the International Headache Society (IHS). The committee is made up of an international body of experts, who spent almost 3 years on the preparation of the classification, publishing it in 1988 (Cephalalgia 8 Suppl 7ratio1ff., 1988). The German translation appeared a year later (Nervenheilkunde 8ratio161-203, 1989). The new classification system is structured in 13 main groups, each with finer divisions into subgroups. Preliminary experience with application of the new classification in 243 patients is reported. The advantages and the problems encountered are discussed. On balance, the new IHS classification is proving to be a very useful basis for the diagnosis of painful conditions affecting the head and face. It is indispensable for a modern headache clinic.
