Current intensity tolerance and stress-like behaviors during restrained and unrestrained EA. (a) Rats with unrestrained EA could tolerant significantly higher current intensity than rats with restrained EA. Rats with unrestrained EA showed significantly fewer hindlimb flinches (b), number of urination (c), number of audible vocalization (d), duration of audible vocalization (e), and number of fecal boli (f) during EA procedures. *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01, and Students 𝑡-test.
