Pain is a feeling of the body to external irritating injury, which is divided into pathological pain and physiological pain according to the factors that produce pain. The purpose of pain-related research is to find effective analgesia. Since the mechanisms of pain are still not well understood and clinical treatments do not adequately control intractable pain, pain-related behavioral studies in rodents can help to investigate the mechanisms associated with pain.
Our company is a professional provider of animal behavior tests. The platform's advanced equipment and experienced testing team allow us to provide our customers with a wide range of tests based on different behaviors, including pain-related behavioral tests. We are proud to offer our customers a variety of classic, customized pain-related behavioral tests to support their research into pain mechanisms.

It is often difficult to use one model to reflect pain induced by multiple etiologies. Therefore, we offer a wide range of pain-related behavioral tests to tailor the pain model to the client's research objectives. Depending on the mode of nociceptive stimulation, our tests are divided into the following components.
Pain related behavior tests in rodents has been studied for hundreds of years. We offer our customers several classic stimulating pain behavior tests, including hot cold plate test, Von Frey test, tail-flick test and Hargreaves test. These tests are based on the principle of observing the behavioral responses of rodents by giving them an acute injury stimulus to assess whether nociception is induced in the animal.
In addition to giving animals injury stimuli to induce pain, gait analysis of animals in a walking and running state can be used for pain studies. The bipedal balance and toe volume measurement that we offer our customers play an important role in the study of analgesia and injury perception, and are particularly applicable to the study of neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, and brain or spinal cord injury.
