Experimental muscle pain does not cause long-lasting increases in resting electromyographic activity.

abstract：:Electrophysiologic detection of the first signs of gastrocnemius muscle reinnervation shows that after a single localized freezing of the rat sciatic nerve, isaxonine does not significantly increase the rate of axonal regeneration. However, this drug does significantly enhance axonal sprouting, as it induces an increa...
