Study probes whether drinking, smoking, and exercise change nerve pain sensitivity
NCT ID NCT07511452
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study looks at how lifestyle factors like alcohol, smoking, physical activity, age, and sex relate to nerve sensitivity in 55 university students aged 18-30. Researchers will measure pressure pain thresholds over two leg nerves using a digital device. The goal is to better understand what influences nerve sensitivity in young adults, which could inform future research.

Who is studied
Healthy university students aged 18 to 30 years enrolled at Fenerbahçe University will be recruited for this observational cross-sectional study. Participants must volunteer to participate, provide written informed consent, and have no condition preventing pressure pain threshold assessment in the tibial and peroneal nerve regions. Students with neurological disease, lower extremity musculoskeletal injury or surgery, acute pain, systemic conditions affecting nerve sensitivity, skin problems at the measurement site, or use of medications that may influence measurements will be excluded.
