Development of a Topical Solanum Tuberosum Spray for Arthritis Pain Relief

Arthritis is a common condition that causes joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, making daily activities difficult. Many people use NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) for pain relief, but these medicines can have harmful side effects when used for a long time. This study focuses on creating a topical spray using Solanum tuberosum (potato) extract as a natural alternative for arthritis pain relief. Potatoes contain beneficial compounds like glycoalkaloids, phenolic acids, and flavonoids, which help reduce pain and inflammation.The study included extracting active ingredients, developing a stable spray, and testing its effects in laboratory and animal models. The results showed that the spray reduced pain and swelling effectively. It was also stable and nonirritating, making it safe for use on the skin.These findings suggest that Solanum tuberosum could be a useful natural treatment for arthritis pain. More clinical studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety for human use.
