Differential Corticomotor Excitability Responses to Hypertonic Saline-Induced Muscle Pain in Forearm and Hand Muscles

Figure 2

Mean (±SEM) NRS scores of the pain intensity ratings over time for hypertonic saline injection into the ECR (filled circles) or FDI (open circles) muscle. No significant difference was found in the two pain profiles over time. ECR: extensor carpi radialis; FDI: first dorsal interosseus; NRS: numerical rating scale; Im. after: immediately after injection of hypertonic saline.
