Acupuncture animal experiment is the main form of acupuncture mechanism research
in which
the setting of control group is crucial to the scientificity and reliability of research conclusion
and the research elements are the fundamental. Focusing on the research elements involved in acupuncture animal experiment
this study summarized the current situation and characteristics of the control groups related to acupoint selection
intervention and pathological mechanism in acupuncture animal experiment
and put forward the questions and suggestions so that the references of setting control group can be provided for acupuncture animal experiment in future.
