- In this work, we investigate a neutrinophilic low-mass dark matter model mediated by a pseudoscalar particle. Since dark matter lacks Standard Model gauge charges, new interactions are required to connect it to the visible sector. Traditional indirect detection searches for annihilation products, such as cosmic rays, become ineffective when the annihilation predominantly yields invisible neutrinos. In our model, the present-day annihilation cross section into neutrinos (manifesting as a neutrino line) falls below current indirect detection limits. We therefore constrain the model using complementary probes: the Lyman-$α$ forest, high-energy astrophysical neutrinos from active galactic nuclei and supernovae, direct detection via nucleon and electron scattering, and invisible Higgs decays. These observables provide stringent and multifaceted constraints on neutrinophilic dark matter interactions in the low-mass regime. Our results indicate that searches for the neutrino line from dark matter annihilations, neutrino self-interactions from supernovae and collider signatures, and invisible Higgs decays offer critical tests for the model's parameter space.
