Not : Not typically. Over time, however, cervical dystonia can lead to accelerated arthritis in the neck. In turn, this can contribute to what are called "cervicogenic headaches" arising from the neck and working up to the back of the head. Compared to migraines, these headaches are less episodic and are not associated with light or sound sensitivity. Both conditions respond well to botulinum toxin injections, which you should discuss with your neurologist.

Yes, possibly: A cervicogenic headache is one which starts as referred pain from neck muscles in dysfunction, and can develop into a migraine-type of headache. Perhaps a dentist with training in neuromuscular dentistry and/or Botox treatment of migraines could be of assistance.
