Summary
This study looked at how smoking affects pain threshold, neck position sense, and grip strength in 132 women aged 18-45, comparing smokers to non-smokers. Researchers measured pressure pain threshold, how accurately women could sense their neck position, and hand grip strength. The goal is to understand if smoking is linked to physical changes that could affect daily function.
