    Migraine is the second most common neurological disability, characterized by recurrent, mostly unilateral moderate to severe pulsatile headaches, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phobia
    .

    How to judge whether it is migraine without aura or with aura, clinically often look at these two diagnostic gold standards!

    What are the diagnostic criteria for migraine?


    There are two main types of migraine: migraine without aura and migraine with aura
    Diagnostic criteria for migraine without aura:
    A.
    Headache that meets B-D criteria has at least 5 episodes
    .

    • Some migraines are difficult to distinguish from symptomatic migraines, and one and several episodes are sometimes difficult to diagnose, so at least 5 episodes
      are required.

    B.
    Headache attacks lasting 4-72 hours (untreated or poorly treated).


    • If you fall asleep during the seizure and the headache disappears after waking up, the duration of the headache is estimated at the time of awakening;

    • For children and adolescents (less than 18 years), the duration of the attack is 2-72 hours (untreated children with a duration of less than 2 hours is not enough to diagnose migraine).


    C.
    At least 2 of the following 4 items are met:

    • unilateral;

    • Pulsatile;

    • Moderate to severe headache;

    • Daily physical activity aggravates headaches or avoids daily activities (such as walking or climbing stairs)
      because of headaches.

    D.
    During the seizure, at least 1 of the following 2 items is met:

    • nausea and/or vomiting;

    • Photophobia and phobia
      .

    E.
    Cannot be better explained
    by other diagnoses in ICHD-3.

    Diagnostic criteria for migraine with aura:
    A.
    At least 2 episodes consistent with B and C
    .

    B.
    At least 1 fully recoverable aura symptom:

    • Vision;

    • Feel;

    • speech and/or language;

    • Motion;

    • Retina.


    C.

    At least 1 aura lasts more than 5 minutes
    .

    2.
    2 or more symptoms occur
    consecutively.

    3.
    Each individual aura symptom lasts 5-60 minutes
    .

    • For example, when 3 symptoms appear together in an aura, the maximum acceptable aura duration is 3*60 minutes
      .
      Motor symptoms can last up to 72 hours
      .

    4.
    At least one aura is unilateral.


    • Aphasia is considered a unilateral symptom, and dysarthria can be unilateral or bilateral
      .

    5
    .
    At least one aura is positive.

      .

    D.
    Cannot be better explained
    by other diagnoses in ICHD-3.
