Analgesic Appraisal of Bidens pilosa (Asteraceae) Leaf Extracts Used in Management of Oral Lesion Pain in HIV/AIDS Patients in Rodents by Joseph Obiezu, Chukwujekwu Ezeonwumelu, Muhammad, Ntale, Steve, Okwudili Ogbonnia, Ezera, Agwu, Julius, Kihdze Tanayen, Ahmed, Adebowale Adedeji, Okonkwo, Chukwudi Onyeka, Ambrose, Amamchukwu Akunne, Jennifer, Chibuogwu Ebosie, Frederick, Byarugaba

“…Both aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the leaves of Bidens pilosa produced statistically significant dose dependent inhibition of acetic acid induced pain, non dose dependent pain reduction in formalin induced pain, (p < 0.05; student t-test) and non dose dependent tail withdrawal pattern (p < 0.05, Multivariate ANOVA test). Hence, we conclude that extracts of Bidens pilosa have an analgesic basis for their local use in treatment of oral lesions associated pain in HIV/AIDS patients in South-Western Uganda.…”
