Figure 3

The effect of microcone touch in saline-injected rats. Specimen records of heart rate (HR) response to heat stimulation (A), and averages of changes in HR response (B) and in basal HR (C) before, during, and after touch. Statistical analysis was performed using the one-way repeated measures ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test for HR response. The analysis showed that there was a significant main effect of “conditions” (pre-, during, and post-touch) (p = 0.013). * p < 0.05; a significant difference from a pre-touch value. Data are expressed as the mean ± the standard error of the mean.
