Are the ICHD-3 criteria for headache attributed to idiopathic intracranial hypertension valid? Headache phenotyping and field-testing in newly diagnosed idiopathic intracranial hypertension

“`html

Study Summary: Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Headache

Key Findings:

• Sensitivity of ICHD-3 criteria for idiopathic intracranial hypertension headache: 93%
• Specificity of ICHD-3 criteria for idiopathic intracranial hypertension headache: 100%
• Headache phenotype not distinct in idiopathic intracranial hypertension

Implications and Practical Solutions:

• ICHD-3 criteria are both sensitive and specific for idiopathic intracranial hypertension headache
• Recommendation to simplify criteria without compromising accuracy
• Proposed sufficient criterion: new or worsened headache related to active idiopathic intracranial hypertension
• Suggestion to segregate elements of idiopathic intracranial hypertension diagnostics from headache criteria
