| Guinea pigs2(dry electrodes, direct pressure) | Pre-MN | 22.4 ± 11.1 (3.2 – 35.4) | 5.99 ± 1.61 (3.11 – 7.41) |
| Post-MN | 5.9 ± 2.5 (3.9 – 9.8) | 16.29 ± 9.92 (5.95 – 33.23) | |

1
In the Yucatan pig, values were calculated from measurements made at 3 sites.
2
For the guinea pigs, values were calculated from measurements made at 9 sites in 3 guinea pigs.
3
For the human subjects, the values were calculated across 30 treatment sites in 10 subjects.
