Treadmill running in pain conditions research

From 2021 to 2025, 55 animal research papers on pain conditions mentioned treadmill running in their title or abstract.

That is 1.2 times the 45 papers of 2011 to 2015. Between the same two periods, the papers on pain conditions that mention any of the 90 tests we count grew more slowly, to 1.1 times as many.

Which species the papers used

Each bar is a share of the 55 papers from 2021 to 2025. A paper can use more than one species, so the shares can add to more than 100%.

Species

Rat
33 papers 60%
Mouse
17 papers 31%
Other animals
7 papers 13%

“Other animals” counts papers that use none of the species this chart names.

Tests mentioned alongside treadmill running

Each bar is one test, with how many of the 55 papers also mention it, and what share that is. Of these papers, 34 (62%) mention no other test.

Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research, mentions treadmill running in its title or abstract, and studies pain conditions.

We tell whether a paper studies pain conditions from its MeSH terms, the subject headings the National Library of Medicine adds when it indexes a paper. For a paper without MeSH terms, PubTator 3, NCBI's text-mining service, has to find the disease in the title or abstract. A paper can count under more than one disease model. A paper that mentions the test only in its methods is missed, so the count runs low.

The page on pain conditions research names the subject headings we count as pain conditions. Download the test list for the search terms we used for treadmill running, or the paper list for the PubMed ID of every paper behind these counts. Our main page, Behavioral tests in published research, has the full method and each source's terms of use.

More tests and disease models

Every pairing of a disease model and a test with 30 or more papers from 2021 to 2025 has a page like this one.

The page on treadmill running counts all the papers that mention it, whatever they study. The page on pain conditions research ranks the tests by their papers on pain conditions.
