Ethanolic extract of Aphanamixis polystachya bark was used to investigate its analgesic activity by acetic acid induced writhing in mice. The bark extract exhibited statistically significant and dose dependent analgesic activity in mice. The bark extract at the doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight showed 40.69% and 62.07% writhing inhibition respectively in mice whereas diclofenac-Na produced 75.17% writhing inhibition as a positive control.
