Smoking is known to cause adverse health effects. But recent studies, women who smoked showed the risk of chronic musculoskeletal pain or chronic pain syndrome.
Researchers at the University of Kentucky survey of more than 6,000 women aged 18 years who quit smoking and symptoms of chronic pain who have had it.
Known that women who smoked or ex-smokers a greater chance of experiencing at least have a keronis pain syndrome. This syndrome, such as fibromyalgia, sciatica, chronic neck pain, chronic back pain, joint pain, chronic headache, nerve pain problems and pain throughout the body.
The researchers show risks for former smokers showed an increase of 20 percent, for people who only smoke occasionally risk by 68 percent, while women who smoke daily is the risk is twice as high, or about 104 percent.
“This study shows a strong association between heavy smoking and the development of chronic pain in women,” said Dr. David Mannino, a pulmonary physician at the UK College of Public Health.
Dr. Mannino said that women who smoke will experience acute pain at first, but because they do not treat acute pain as a continuous, chronic pain, because her body is damaged protection system by exposure to tobacco smoke.
In this study, the researchers tried to see the relationship between smoking, smoking cessation, psychopathology and treatment of chronic pain. And in fact the relationship between smoking dose with the body’s response to the pain that seems known.
