    The Effects of Peroneus Longus Trigger Poin Stimulation on the Pain Threshold in Dogs
    (2010) Altug, M.E.; Tas, A.
    The results of this study demonstrate that peroneus longus trigger point stimulation has a powerful analgesic effect, and increased algometric pain threshold without any adverse effect in the measured physiological parameters. Consequently, it may be suggested that only trigger point stimulation or its combination with the other analgesic or sedative drugs will be used effectively in alleviating painful conditions in dogs.
