CHAPTER 4 Figure 4.1a inset; n values indicated for each group; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, p value indicated for 0.1 < p < 0.05. See Figure 4.1 for abbreviations. 4.4.3 Red light reduces mechanical sensitivity in animals that do not develop hypersensitivity In spinal cord injured normosensitive animals (Figure 4.3e), CSSs remained constant throughout the recovery period in SCI animals (p = 0.81, CLMM), but were significantly reduced by 670 nm treatment (p = 0.0012, see Figure 4.5 for n values). In sham-injured normosensitive animals (Figure 4.3f, see Figure 4.5 for n values), 670 nm treatment significantly reduced CSSs in sham-injured animals (p = 0.040, CLMM). Both sham groups displayed significantly reduced CSSs as compared to their respective spinal cord injured group (p < 5.3417e-05, CLMM). Analysis of RSSs confirmed that there was no time effect in the normosensitive subpopulation of spinal cord injured animals (Figure 4.5; p = 0.28, CLMM), and furthermore, demonstrated that there was no difference in RRSs between the sides ipsilateral and contralateral to the injury (p = 0.98, CLMM). Spinal cord injured animals always displayed the lowest RSSs in the Below-Level region compared to the other two spinal levels (p ≤ 1.5e-05) irrespective of treatment, side, and time. The 670 nm treatment reduction in RSSs of spinal cord injured animals (p = 0.0016, CLMM) was most significant at 1-dpi (p = 0.017) and 3-dpi (p = 0.028). In sham-injured normosensitive animals, RSSs were uniform across the sides (p = 0.87) and spinal levels (p = 0.12). 670 nm light treatment significantly reduced RSSs (p = 0.024) which was most significant at 1-dpi (p = 0.044). In summary, these results indicate that red light treatment reduces mechanical sensitivity, particularly within the first 3 days post-injury, in animals that do not develop hypersensitivity in both spinal cord injured and sham-injured animals. 92PDF Image | Effects of Red Light Treatment on Spinal Cord Injury
