The beta version of the third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders lists the following types of migraine:

Migraine without aura (formerly, common migraine)
Migraine with aura (formerly, classic migraine)
Chronic migraine
Complications of migraine
Probable migraine
Episodic syndromes that may be associated with migraine

The headache previously described as "classic migraine" is now known as "migraine with aura," and the headache that was described as "common migraine" is now termed "migraine without aura." Migraines without aura are the most common, accounting for more than 80% of all migraines.
