[Editorial] A collaborative approach to headache classification

[Editorial] A collaborative approach to headache classification
The Lancet Neurology

Previous versions of the classification have been crucial for clinical practice and for facilitating research, and the new revision promises to provide a more comprehensive set of criteria and increased clarity. This third revision of the classification is published as a beta version ( ICHD-III-beta) for field testing.
