In recent years, the use of acupuncture and electroacupuncture has been increasing as more clinical research has been conducted showing positive results in the treatment of animals, particularly dogs. Electroacupuncture is a more complex and specific acupuncture technique that involves electrical stimulation on acupuncture needles. Most of the studies have shown that the beneficial effects of electroacupuncture are more evident than in acupuncture alone. This review included studies focused only on dogs with spinal cord injury. Research facility animals (mice, rats, and rabbits) were avoided. Titles and abstracts of identified articles were read, and outlines were made to be better understood. Clinical applications are discussed and suggested in each section. When specialists use this method, electroacupuncture can be an excellent complementary therapy for veterinary patients' pain control.
近年来，随着越来越多的临床研究表明针灸和电针疗法在治疗动物尤其是狗方面取得了积极效果，其应用也日益增加。电针是一种更为复杂和特定的针灸技术，涉及对针灸针进行电刺激。大多数研究表明，电针的有益效果比单纯针灸更为明显。本综述纳入的研究仅聚焦于患有脊髓损伤的狗。研究设施中的动物（小鼠、大鼠和兔子）被排除在外。阅读了已识别文章的标题和摘要，并制作了大纲以便更好地理解。每个部分都讨论并提出了临床应用。当专家使用这种方法时，电针可以成为控制兽医患者疼痛的一种出色的辅助疗法。
