Background and Purpose. The aim of this investigation was to study the effect of electrical stimulation on nociceptive responses within the lumbar levels of the rat spinal cord. Methods. A single high-energy thermal pulse produced by a surgical laser simulator (5 W, 30 milliseconds) was applied on the plantar surface of the hind paws of male Sprague-Dawley rats. The spinal cord field potential evoked by the laser pulse was used as an indicator of thermosensitve nociceptive responses. Low-intensity single stimulation, high-intensity single stimulation, low-intensity train stimulation, and ...
