MPS rating for n = 18 patients (excluding n = 1 because of MRI data) is 7.04 ± 10.07 (mean ± SD).
†
One patient was excluded from the second analysis because of the quality of the MRI data.
F, female; L, left; M, male; MPS, mechanical pain sensitivity; R, right; TLE, temporal lobe epilepsy; VM, verbal memory; VSM, visuospatial memory.
