Can a car accident lead to migraines?

Yes: Post traumatic headaches occur within one week of a car accident and these headaches may manifest symptoms similar to migraine headaches. They occur proportionally to the degree of head and neck trauma. The good news is that these head aches typically resolve over time.

Migraine and trauma: Sometimes migraine headaches seem to start after a traumatic event. A car accident is sometimes the impetus to a history of migraines. Most people with migraines have no history of trauma however.
