Medicinal plants and dietary supplements may provide an effective and safe treatment for pain relief. Green tea is one of the most common beverages with many several pharmacological activities. The results of various studies have indicated that green tea possesses antinociceptive effects. Many of the protective effects of green tea in terms of pain relief are attributed to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Epigallocatechin -3-gallate (EGCG), as one of the major phytochemical components in green tea, is effective in the management of pain through suppression of inflammation and oxidative stress. We have reviewed the effects of green tea on pain and also discussed mechanisms involved in pain relief. This review suggests that green tea can be a safe and often effective treatment for pain.
药用植物和膳食补充剂可能为缓解疼痛提供一种有效且安全的治疗方法。绿茶是最常见的饮品之一，具有多种药理活性。各项研究结果表明绿茶具有抗伤害感受作用。绿茶在缓解疼痛方面的许多保护作用归因于其抗氧化和抗炎特性。表没食子儿茶素 -3- 没食子酸酯（EGCG）作为绿茶中的主要植物化学成分之一，通过抑制炎症和氧化应激对疼痛管理有效。我们综述了绿茶对疼痛的影响，并讨论了缓解疼痛所涉及的机制。本综述表明绿茶可以是一种安全且通常有效的疼痛治疗方法。
