Best Answer

Yes.

For some people muscle spasms occur during migraine because of the pain. They may also hold their body/neck strangely due to pain, and nearly any alteration you make in one muscle group of the body will affect another muscle group. Some migraineurs also experience allodynia, which is a kind of oversensitivity of the skin which can make even brushing your hair impossible.

Teeth clenching can also cause the occipital area of the head to be tender, because biting down your jaw tightens all the muscles of the face and jaw, and then radiates.

There is a dental appliance called the NTI, which relieves tension caused by clenching or grinding teeth during the night. This can help prevent migraines and headaches caused by those things.
