A comparison of baseline assessment and after 3 months selective L4-DRGSTIM (two right columns) compared to those of healthy controls (HC). Saliva concentrations of oxytocin at baseline, after 1 week L4-DRGSTIM trial and after 3 months. A comparison of baseline assessment and after 3 months selective L4-DRGSTIM (two right columns) compared to those of healthy controls (HC). For saliva oxytocin an additional measure was performed after 1 week trial stimulation.
