Flow chart of the experimental outline. Rats received 14 days of 10 µL IS/NS modeling (Day 0–13) followed by five-time treatments with tONS (Day 14–18). Periorbital mechanical thresholds were measured daily and video-based behavioral pain assessments were conducted on alternate days (Day 0–18). Rats were sacrificed on Day 19 for tissue harvesting. IS: inflammatory soup; NS: normal saline. tONS: transcutaneous occipital nerve stimulation. tONS parameters: True: 2/100 Hz, 4 mA, 30 min; Sham: 2/100 Hz, 0 mA, 30 min
