Experimental design and protocol. A within-subjects repeated-measures design was employed. An H-reflex recruitment curve (RC) was recorded at baseline then again following the intervention for each subject. The intervention involved a paired stimulation protocol, with sub-threshold TMS preceding PNS by 20ms (PNS intensity adjusted to elicit a conditioned H-reflex amplitude of 0.5-1.0mV) repeated at 0.1Hz for 15 minutes (90 stimulus pairs).
