The International Headache Society established new headache and facial pain criteria in 1988. A developed assessment form aids neuroscience nurses in classifying headaches, enabling research.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroscience Nursing

Background:

  • The International Headache Society (IHS) published new diagnostic criteria in 1988.
  • Established a standardized classification for migraine and tension-type headache.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the new IHS classification and diagnostic criteria for headache, cranial neuralgias, and facial pain.
  • To present an assessment form designed for neuroscience nurses to apply IHS criteria.
  • To highlight the potential for research facilitated by quantifiable variables in the new classification.

Main Methods:

  • Publication of the International Headache Society's Classification and Diagnostic Criteria.
  • Development of a specialized assessment form for neuroscience nurses.
  • Focus on quantifying variables within the new classification system.

Main Results:

  • A new standard classification for headache disorders, including migraine and tension-type headache, was established.
  • An assessment tool was created to assist neuroscience nurses in applying the IHS criteria.
  • The quantifiable nature of the new criteria opens avenues for research.

Conclusions:

  • The 1988 IHS classification provides a standardized framework for headache diagnosis.
  • Neuroscience nurses can utilize the developed assessment form for accurate headache classification.
  • The new criteria facilitate quantitative research in headache disorders by neuroscience nurses.
