Fig. 1. Presurgery versus  postsurgery sensory assessments after burn injury. Assessments were made before (baseline ) and 1 h after (postburn 1 h ) the burn injury. (A ) Mechanical pain threshold in the burn area (von Frey monofilaments), (B ) mechanical pain threshold outside the burn area (von Frey monofilaments), (C ) mechanical pain perception in burn area (von Frey monofilaments), (D ) heat pain perception in burn area, (E ) pressure pain threshold (patella, pressure algometry), and (F ) heat pain threshold (lines with circles = median; stars =P < 0.005; arrows = coincidence of data sets). VAS = visual analog scale.
