Diagnosis through differentiation: a pilot study on improving the diagnostic efficiency of primary headaches in ICHD3

Fifteen questions are necessary to differentiate the primary headache disorders in ICHD3. A smaller set may be possible, but we cannot prove its existence. Using this reduced set of questions, clinicians may be able to more efficiently arrive at ICHD3 diagnoses, but further research is required.

Abstract

Fifteen questions are necessary to differentiate the primary headache disorders in ICHD3. A smaller set may be possible, but we cannot prove its existence. Using this reduced set of questions, clinicians may be able to more efficiently arrive at ICHD3 diagnoses, but further research is required.
