title: Hemicrania continua: comparison between two different classification systems.
abstract: Hemicrania continua is an uncommon primary headache disorder. This study of nine patients compares two different classification systems, proposed by Pareja et al. and Goadsby and Lipton. Although it seems logical to position the nosologic status of hemicrania continua under group 3 of the International Headache Society Classification, as proposed by Pareja et al., the Goadsby and Lipton classification is more clinically useful and should be included in future International Headache Society reclassification.
