Abstract

The analgesic efficacy of aqueous extract of leaves of Musa paradisiaca was evaluated by hot plate reaction time and acetic acid induced writhing models. The aqueous extract was found to possess significant analgesic activity in both models and these effects could be due to the presence of two components: one acting centrally and another peripherally.
