Background of the Study:
Traditional approaches to pain management in Benin City, particularly in Oredo Local Government, remain a cornerstone of indigenous healthcare practices. Many residents rely on natural remedies, massage techniques, and spiritual rituals to manage pain from various ailments (Omoregie, 2023). These methods are deeply rooted in cultural heritage and passed down through generations. While some traditional approaches have shown promising analgesic properties, there is often a lack of scientific validation and standardized application protocols (Egharevba, 2024). Recent studies highlight both the potential benefits and risks of these practices, emphasizing the need for an integrated approach that respects traditional wisdom while incorporating modern pain management strategies (Osagie, 2025). This study investigates the efficacy and cultural relevance of traditional pain management methods in the region, aiming to provide evidence-based insights that can bridge the gap between indigenous and conventional treatments.
Statement of the Problem:
In Oredo, despite the popularity of traditional pain management approaches, there is insufficient clinical evidence to support their widespread use. The unregulated nature of these practices may result in inconsistent outcomes and potential health risks. This study seeks to address the gap in knowledge regarding the efficacy and safety of traditional pain management, thereby informing better integration with modern medical practices (Omoregie, 2023).
