Relationships between perceived pain VAS and ΔPPT during NMES and NxES

Pairs	Pearsons r, p value
NMES VAS vs. ΔPPT R Knee	-.070, p = .775
NMES VAS vs. ΔPPT L Knee	.319, p = .183
NMES VAS vs. ΔPPT Finger	.164, p = .502
NxES VAS vs. ΔPPT R Knee	-.475, p = .040*
NxES VAS vs. ΔPPT L Knee	.154, p = .528
NxES VAS vs. ΔPPT Finger	-.212, p = .384

VAS Visual analog scale rating of perceived pain, NMES Neuromuscular electrical stimulation, NxES Noxious electrical stimulation, ΔPPT Change in pressure pain threshold
