We conclude that ESWT with an energy flux dose up to 0.33 mJ/mm(2)does not modify neuronal activity. Since the application of ESWT showed no significant changes in the immunoreactivity of c-Fos, it is therefore unlikely that ESWT triggers stimulation-produced analgesia via activation of peripheral nerves.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
