Abstract	Pain is a universal human experience affecting billions worldwide, with significant impacts on quality of life, healthcare utilization, and economic productivity. Non-pharmacological approaches to pain management have gained increasing attention due to concerns about opioid dependence, medication side effects, and the need for adjunctive therapies. Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) essential oil has been traditionally used for analgesic and anti-inflammatory purposes across multiple cultural contexts, but its efficacy for pain management has not been systematically evaluated.
