The long-term effects of cocaine are related to a wide range of deteriorated cognitive functions. This study aimed to examine the fine motor control and hand-function in cocaine users compared to healthy controls. METHODS An observational study was conducted. Sociodemographic variables, substance consumption, the Purdue Pegboard and the Jebsen-Taylor Hand-function Test were evaluated bilaterally in 35 participants who were cocaine users and in 35 healthy participants.
