How about 'maintained'? I have seen it as well.

Another option is 'tone remains normal', which is what the campaigners for plain English would use :-)

I have checked with other experienced medical translators in English-speaking countries, and they agree that neither 'complete' nor 'intact' are at all appropriate here.

disagree  Eynati: The medical term is 'conserved' - you only preserve food (your link is to an article written by Japanese doctors, hardly a reliable method for finding English terminology).

disagree  jloew: There is not something as "conserved tone" or even conserved tonus. But "complete tonus" is an accepted expression. Even "intact tonus" would be preferable (1 match in Google)

  -> I have used it many times in texts read by MDs, and nobody batted an eyelid. 'Complete tone' is slightly different logically. Intact is mostly applied to physical structures, not to functions (1 hit is neither here nor there).
