US Team Studies African Traditional Medicine for Pain Remedies
Original: Allies in Africa: Team Turns to Traditional Medicine in Hunt for Pain Remedies
Researchers from the University of Texas at Dallas are partnering with collaborators in Africa to study traditional medicinal plants in the search for new pain treatments. The initiative aims to identify compounds used in indigenous healing practices that could be developed into modern analgesic therapies, while building research capacity with African institutions.
Why now: Interest in finding new pain treatments as the opioid crisis and antibiotic-style resistance to existing drugs push scientists toward natural and traditional sources.
