Figure 4From: Selective nociceptor activation in volunteers by infrared diode laser Effect of Topical Capsaicin on Laser Evoked Potentials. A. Topical pretreatment with 1% capsaicin did not affect grand average (across 7 subjects) LEP evoked by a suprathreshold short (60 ms) laser pulses. B. In contrast, topical capsaicin clearly enhanced cortical responses to the suprathreshold long (1.5 s) laser pulses.Back to article page
