Mouse Acupuncture Conditions We Treat
Explore standard laboratory mouse acupoints referenced across preclinical disease models — from nervous system and metabolic research to cardiovascular, respiratory, immunology, and oncology support studies. Point locations are cross-checked against WHO Standard Acupuncture Point Locations for research reproducibility.
Common Conditions Treated with Mouse Acupuncture
Each card gives a short, search-friendly summary of how mouse acupuncture is referenced across preclinical research fields, with quick links to the laboratory mouse acupuncture points chart, certified specialists, and learning resources.
Mouse Acupuncture for Nervous System Disease Models
Referenced in cerebral ischemia, Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), neuropathic pain, and epilepsy models, commonly using points such as GV20, ST36, and PC6.
Mouse Acupuncture for Neuropsychiatric & Cognitive Models
Used in depression, anxiety, cognitive impairment / learning-memory models (e.g., SAMP8 mice), and substance addiction research, commonly using points such as GV20, GV26, and HT7.
Mouse Acupuncture for Metabolic & Endocrine Models
Referenced in diabetes mellitus and obesity research models, commonly using points such as ST36, CV4, and EX-B3.
Mouse Acupuncture for Digestive System Models

Frequently asked questions
These questions help both researchers and search engines understand how laboratory mouse acupuncture is referenced in preclinical study design.
What disease models is mouse acupuncture commonly used in?
Published preclinical literature references mouse acupuncture across nine broad research fields: nervous system disease, neuropsychiatric and cognitive models, metabolic and endocrine disease, digestive system disorders, respiratory disease, immunology and inflammation, cardiovascular disease, analgesia and anesthesia research, and oncology support.
How many acupuncture points does a mouse have?
PetAcu's laboratory mouse chart references 39 standard acupuncture points, verified against WHO Standard Acupuncture Point Locations and T/CAAM guidelines for reproducible experimental use.
Are mouse acupoint locations standardized across studies?
Point locations are commonly cross-referenced against WHO and T/CAAM standards, though some points (such as ST36) have documented locational variation across published studies, which is why verified reference charts are important for reproducibility.
Can acupuncture protocols be combined with pharmacological treatment in mouse models?
Yes. Acupuncture is frequently studied as an adjunctive or comparative intervention alongside pharmacological treatment in preclinical study designs.
