Assessing the effect of aqueous extract of the cuminum cyminm seed on the acute peripheral pain in hot plate and tail flick models in mice

ABSTRACT

Background and Purpose: Cuminum Cyminm [CC] is one of the plants whose aqueous extract is used in traditional medicine as anti-convulsive, anti-epileptic and as a tretment for some visceral pains. However, no substantial reports can be found of its effects on the peripheral pain in lab animals. Therefore, this study was condcated to determine the eefects of the IP injection of the aqueous extract of CC on the acute peripheral pain in Hot Plate [HP] and Tail Flick [TF] tests in mice
