Summary

This study looked at how puberty affects pain sensitivity in 36 healthy adolescents aged 9-16. Researchers measured pain responses to heat and cold, and checked sex hormone levels. The goal was to understand if early or mid-puberty changes pain perception and who might develop chronic pain.
