To reproduce, quantitativly assess and compare the hypoalgesic effect of millimeter waves treatment, exposing areas of murine skin possessing different innervation densities.

The maximum hypoalgesic effect was achieved by exposing to millimeter waves the more densely innervated skin areas (nose and footpad). The effect to the murine back, which is less densely innervated, was not statistically significant. The results support the hypothesis of neural system involvement in the systemic response to millimeter waves.
