Study Summary
Individuals with chronic pain are more likely to smoke cigarettes and have more difficulty quitting smoking than the general population, in part because withdrawal from smoking can lead to temporary increases in pain. This research will examine how smoking withdrawal changes the way the brain processes pain, and whether these withdrawal-related changes interfere with the ability to stop smoking. The results of this research will provide important information that can be used to guide the development of interventions to help people with chronic pain who smoke cigarettes to quit smoking and improve their health.
