Background & Aim: Eugenia caryophyllata well known as Clove is a tree from Myrtaceae family that several parts of this plant traditionally used in dental care as an analgesic. This study aimed to assess the chemical composition, anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive activities of the essential oil extracted from Clove buds. Experimental: The essential oil of Clove buds (EOC) was extr...

Objective(s):Based on the previous reports, silymarin can suppress nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), leukotrienes, cytokines production, and neutrophils infiltration. Regarding the fact that inflammation plays an important role in neuropathic and formalin-induced pain, it was assumed that silymarin could reduce pain. The present study investigates the analgesic effects of silymarin in chem...

this study was designed to investigate the therapeutic effects of saffron (crocus sativus l) and its main constituent crocin on neuropathic pain behavioral responses induced by chronic constriction injury (cci) in rats. adult male wistar rats (200 to 250 g) were randomly assigned into 5 groups: sham + saline, cci + saline, cci+ saffron (30 mg/kg), cci +crocin (15 mg/kg) and cci + crocin (30 mg/...

background: usual dosage  of morphine  (10 mg/kg) induces  analgesia  and ultra-low dose (uld) of morphine (1 μg/kg); hyperalgesia, and  c-fibers are also bearing  μ- opioid receptors; here the importance  of c-fibers on pain and  morphine   induced  analgesia/hyperalgesia  is questioned   and  investigated    using   pain   evaluation methods and infant capsaicin treating  for c-fibers lesioni...

Introduction: Pain as a complex process in central nervous system (CNS) has been studied by many researchers. Pain is controlled by several CNS pathways, one of the most important of which, is the descending noradrenergic system. This system begins from locus coeruleus (LC) nucleus in pons and ends in the spinal cord. In this research, the effect of pain induced by formalin was studied. Met...

Background.  Many mechanisms are involved in pain transmission in the spinal cord.  Therefore, combination of drugs acting on different kinds of mechanisms might be useful for analgesia.  We investigated the interaction betweenγ-aminobutyric acid （GABA）B receptor agonist, baclofen, and N-methyl-D-aspartate （NMDA） receptor antagonist, AP-5, orα-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid ...
