Spinal Cord Stimulation Reduces Mechanical Hyperalgesia and Restores Physical Activity Levels in Animals with Noninflammatory Muscle Pain in a Frequency-Dependent Manner

BACKGROUND:Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective treatment for neuropathic pain, but its effect on chronic muscle pain is unclear. We designed this study to test the effect of SCS in an animal model of noninflammatory muscle pain.METHODS:Male Sprague-Dawley rats were implanted with an epidur
