Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research and its title or abstract mentions nerve injury and the formalin test.

A paper that mentions either only in its methods is missed, so the count runs low. The search terms are in the list of models and techniques and the test list. The full method, with each source and its terms of use, is on our main page, Behavioral tests in published research.

More pairings

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

The formalin test with other animal models

The page on the formalin test counts all the papers that mention it, whatever they study. The page on nerve injury ranks the tests mentioned with it.
