"On behalf of the Classification Committee of The International Headache Society I am proud to present the third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3). This follows the publication of ICHD-3 beta in 2013. The idea behind the beta version was to promote more field testing before presentation of the final ICHD-3, and this has worked well. There have been excellent field-testing studies published, in migraine with aura, cluster headache, idiopathic intracranial hypertension and trigeminal neuralgia among others. It was, for example, documented that the Appendix criteria for A1.2 Migraine with aura were superior to the criteria for 1.2 Migraine with aura in the main body of ICHD-3 beta, better distinguishing this disorder from transient ischemic attacks. Field testing of the novel associated features in criterion C1 for 3.1 Cluster headache, facial flushing and aural fullness, revealed that they did not add to diagnostic discrimination. Consequently, these symptoms are included only in the Appendix of ICHD-3, where they invite further study. These are examples of the evidence-based process of disease classification that now underpins all future changes to the International Classification of Headache Disorders."

"A contributing reason for the beta version was, as we thought, so that ICHD-3 could when published include the codes of the International Classification of Diseases, 11th edition (ICD-11), from the World Health Organization (WHO). We expected that ICD-11 would be finished in 2016, but unfortunately there have been long and unexpected delays so that the final codes are still not available. We therefore have to publish ICHD-3 without them."

"ICHD-3 is published as the first issue of Cephalalgia in 2018, exactly 30 years after the first edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders, ICHD-I as we now call it. This first version was based primarily upon the opinions of experts, but proved nevertheless to be largely valid. ICHD-II, published in 2004, included a number of changes prompted partly by new evidence and partly by revised opinions of experts. New scientific evidence played a relatively greater role in the changes made in ICHD-3 beta, and all the further changes included in ICHD-3 are based on such evidence. Thus headache classification is now and will in the future be driven entirely by research."

"A long journey that started in 2010 has ended with the publication of ICHD-3, but the present committee has still much to do for a couple of years. ICHD-3 beta was translated into many languages, and these translations need updating before ICHD-3 can be published in those languages. Hopefully many additional translations will be published so that ICHD-3 becomes available in all major and even in many minor languages. An electronic version of ICHD-3 beta already developed under the leadership of Professor Hartmut Göbel has been updated to ICHD-3. A case book is planned in a collaboration between Professors Morris Levin and Jes Olesen. Finally, a cross-walk between ICHD-3 and WHO’s ICD-11 will be made by Professors Timothy Steiner and Jes Olesen as soon as the codes for ICD-11 become available."
