Figure 2.
Mechanical hyperalgesia. Increased sensitivity to mechanical pinprick stimuli was observed at the HFS arm, both 20 minutes (T1) and 45 minutes (T2) after applying HFS. HFS also exerted a significant effect on the event-related potentials elicited by visual stimuli delivered to the HFS arm. The magnitude of the N1 wave of visual-evoked potentials elicited by stimulation of the HFS arm was significantly enhanced 20 minutes after applying HFS, but not 45 minutes after HFS. Asterisks indicate a p-values smaller than 0.05.
