Because of the few studies conducted on the mechanism of Tanacetum parthenium (TP), this study has been conducted to determine the effects of TP on pain relief and its action mechanism. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 100 male mice (25-35 g) were randomly grouped into receivers of distilled water, morphine (0.5 mg/kg), ibuprofen (100 mg/kg), different doses of the extract including 10, 20, 30 and 40 mg/kg of the extract. In order to study the pain relief effect of this herb, two groups were also received naloxon (0.5 mg/kg) and naloxon together with the 40 mg/kg of the extract. Animals were injected with 0.9% acetic acid for visceral pain induction. 15 minutes after each injection antinociceptive effects were recorded by counting the number of writhes for 30 minutes. Achieved data were analyzed by SPSS statistical software, Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn post hoc test. Results: 40 mg/kg of the extract of TP caused a significant reduction in the pain response. Group receiving a dose of 40 mg/kg extract had higher antinociceptive effects than the group receiving ibuprofen (p | en |
