Abstract
⺠Intense focused ultrasound (iFU) can generate diagnostic sensations deep to the skin. ⺠We evaluate iFU as a way to quantify diurnal variation of inflammatory pain. ⺠We applied iFU to the inflamed paws of rats during the day and the night. ⺠Rats responded to lower iFU intensities during the day than the night. ⺠Consistent iFU response variation makes it useful to study diurnal pain.
