A CT scan itself does not cause headaches. However, some individuals may experience discomfort or tension-related headaches due to anxiety or the stress of undergoing the procedure. Additionally, if a person has to lie still for an extended period or if they have a pre-existing condition, this might contribute to a headache. Overall, the scan's process is not directly linked to causing headaches.
