Von Frey test with intrathecal injection
From 2021 to 2025, 128 animal research papers mentioned intrathecal injection and the von Frey test in their title or abstract.
That is about the same as the 127 papers of 2011 to 2015. Between the same two periods, the papers that mention intrathecal injection and any of the 90 tests we count fell 32%. The 2021 to 2025 count may run low because of a dip in PubMed's indexing, explained under the year chart.

Papers that mention intrathecal injection and the von Frey test fell from 30 in 2021 to 17 in 2024, then rose to 27 in 2025. Part of this dip may come from PubMed's indexing rather than from fewer studies. We take a paper's species from PubMed's indexing when the indexing names one. Otherwise PubTator 3, NCBI's text-mining service, has to find a species in the title or abstract, or the paper is not counted. Papers that PubMed indexed under the subject heading Animals also fell and rose, from 200,221 in 2021 to 156,447 in 2023 and 235,479 in 2025.
Which species the papers used
Each bar is a share of the 128 papers from 2021 to 2025. A paper can use more than one species, so the shares can add to more than 100%.
Species
Tests mentioned alongside the von Frey test
Each bar is one test, with how many of the 128 papers also mention it, and what share that is. Of these papers, 82 (64%) mention no other test.

Which papers count
A paper counts here when it is animal research and its title or abstract mentions intrathecal injection and the von Frey 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 a brain technique and a test with 30 or more papers from 2021 to 2025 has a page like this one.
