Various combinations of natural extracts have been explored to minimize the side effects associated with conventional medications.

However, previous studies have not yet investigated the combined administration of celecoxib and Shinbaro for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

Behavioral assessments were conducted blindly at baseline and on days 1, 3, and 7 post-injection.
