Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroacupuncture therapy for mice, and specifically to an experimental device for electroacupuncture therapy for mice. Background Technology

[0002] Electroacupuncture in mice is an experimental therapy based on traditional Chinese medicine theory. It involves applying microcurrent stimulation to specific acupoints on mice to observe its therapeutic effects on disease models. Electroacupuncture combines acupuncture with electrical stimulation, which can enhance the physiological effects of acupuncture. This therapy has a long history in traditional Chinese medicine and has recently shown potential therapeutic effects and mechanisms in modern scientific research.

[0003] When performing electroacupuncture on mice, the mice need to be fixed in place. Currently, after the electroacupuncture is applied, the mice will move around randomly due to the stimulation of the current. Therefore, it is necessary to design a device to fix the mice to facilitate the smooth conduct of electroacupuncture experiments on mice. At the same time, the existing experimental device is not easy to adjust the position of the mice, making it difficult to insert the electroacupuncture needle into the position of the mouse's abdomen.
