What does a teeth-grinding headache feel like compared to a migraine?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Teeth grinding: Oftentimes, a migraine and a headache from teeth grinding feels the same. Many migraine headaches are caused by teeth grinding or clenching...Called bruxism. In addition to headaches, bruxism can also cause TMJ pain, tooth pain, neck and shoulder pain, and sinus pain. There is a device that you can get from your dentist called an nti that is being used to eliminate bruxism and migraines.

Varies: Headaches due to "grinding"and TMJ problems are generally located in the temple region and the back of the head. There can also be referred pain to the ear. A migraine headache can cause intense throbbing or pulsing in varying areas of the head and is commonly accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound.
