Abstract:
A significant analgesic effect was observed after oral administration of an ethanol extract of Miconia fallax to mice, evaluated using chemical (writhing test) and thermal (hot plate test) stimuli. The extract showed a significant effect compared to control in both algesimetric models, suggesting that it was efficient in increasing the pain threshold.
