people's awareness on various population issues such as the important of
family planning, gender equality, poverty, maternal health and human
rights. The uncontrolled rapid population explosion may create
unemployment, food problem, poverty and a decline in social
infrastructure, adverse effects on environment and low standard of living
etc. Most of the Indian women in rural areas, out of ignorance are forced
to continue the motherhood until she gets a male child. Lack of access to
information and services in rural areas and lack of support from their
partners or society also flares-up in world population. Final conclusion
was that small family will have a better life with sustainable needs. The
event was graciously ended with vote of thanks uttered by

Pain is a highly unpleasant physical sensation caused by any injury or illness. Physical part of pain results from nerve stimulation that is mediated by specific
nerve fibers that carry the pain impulses to the brain. Based on the severity, pain is two types namely acute and chronic pain. Generally acute pain is
managed with analgesics and anaesthetics where as severe pain in managed by using morphine as pain killer. Though this medicine is effective pain killer
but has common side effects like drowsiness, constipation, nausea etc. Hence recently scientists have discovered the venom procured from Caribbean
Sea snails which is a possible alternative to opioid-based painkillers such as morphine.
Key words: Analgesic, Caribbean Sea snails, morphine, pain, pain killer.

INTRODUCTION
Pain is the most common reason for physician consultation in all 1,2developed countries . It is a response or signal sent out to the brain to
indicate a problem in the body Hence pain is defined as an unpleasant
sensory and emotional experience arising from actual or potential tissue
damage. In 1968, Margo Mc Caffery first explained pain sensation and
explained as it is subjective, protective and modified by developmental,
behavioural and cultural factors.
Causes of Pain:
1. Inflammation, Infection, ischemia and tissue necrosis or burn.
2. In skeletal muscle, pain is developed from ischemia, haemorrhage
etc.
3. Some body organs such as kidney, liver and brain are characterize by
pain receptors.
4. In stomach and intestines the pain is generated from the inflammation
of the mucosa or by the muscle spasm.
Types of pain:
Chronic pain: It is long lasting and usually does not reduce with most
treatments. It is associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis or
fibromyalgia.
Acute pain: It occurs suddenly but is temporary. It is associated
with anxiety and emotional stress, and resolves as the injury heals.
Acute and chronic pain can be classified as (Figure-1):
.
3Pain can be of two types
Nociceptive pain: It is caused due to an injury to the body tissue;
this includes damage to muscle or bone such as bruises, cuts,
fractures, burns, cancer and surgery. Pain reduces once the injury
heals.
Neuropathic pain: It is caused due to dysfunction or damage to the
nerves, spinal cord or brain. It is characterized by a burning, tingling
or stabbing sensation. Pain can last for a long period of time, even
after the inju
Another types of pain is Psychogenic pain: It is caused by psychological
factors. Pain usually occurs due to tissue or nerve damage, but increases
and is prolonged because of stress, fear, anxiety or depression.
Based on transmission, pain is two types likely fast pain and slow pain.
Fast pain felt about 0.1 sec after a pain stimulus is applied whereas slow
pain felt after 1 sec or more.

Pathways of pain sensation:
The pathways of pain sensation are as follows:
1. Pathways from skin and deeper tissues
2. Pathway from face: Pain sensation is carried by trigeminal nerve
3. Pathway from viscera: Pain sensation is carried from thoracic and
abdominal viscera are transmitted by sympathetic nerves and
from trachea and pharynx by glossopharyngeal nerves.
4. Pathway from pelvic region: Pain sensation is carried by sacral
parasympathetic nerves.
Mechanism of pain :
It is described in
Some important nerve fibres are involved in pain transmission like A fibres
and C fibres and their characters ar
Pain medications for relief pain:
Analgesics are mainly use to relieve pain selectively without blocking the
conduction of nerve impulses, markedly altering sensory perception, or
affecting consciousness. They are classified into anti-inflammatory drugs,
which alleviate pain by reducing local inflammatory responses; and the
opioids (narcotics), which act on the brain. The opioid analgesics are
used for either short-term or long-term relief of severe pain whereas the
anti-inflammatory drugs are used for short-term pain relief like headache,
muscle strain, arthritis etc.
Opioids are powerful analgesic and mainly all the natural and synthetic
chemical compounds which are related to morphine, they act either as

agonists (cellular activators) or antagonists (substances that block the
actions of agonists) by affecting opioid receptors in brains and spinal
cord.
Anti inflammatory agents such as Acetylsalicylic acid, or aspirin is widely
used as mild analgesic. The two other major types of anti inflammatory
agents include acetaminophen (a derivative of phenacetin) and the
aspirin-like drugs, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs),
which include compounds such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and fenoprofen.
All these drugs mainly act by inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins
that induce the responses in local tissue that include pain and
inflammation.
Common side effects of opioids:
Common side effects of opioid administration include sedation,
dizziness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, physical dependence,

tolerance, and respiratory depression. Physical dependence and
addiction are clinical concerns.
Alternate source of Opioids:
To overcome the side effects of opioids, recently scientists are invented
natural products which can relief pain i.e. snail venom. Research
evidences are claim that snail venom is an alternate to opioid analgesic
and more powerful than morphine. Even the research also said that many
of the most promising chemicals for chronic pain relief come from
venomous animals. There are five compounds that are used to control
chronic pain and all based on a protein found in cone snail venom.
Cone snails are gastropod mollusks common on coral reefs and in tropical
tidal zones. They are genus of Conus and belong to the family Conidae.
Their venom is located in a gland within a tooth. The raw form conotoxins
are broken down by the body's enzymes and therefore cannot be taken
orally. Ziconotide is the first painkiller based on cone snail toxins which is
injected directly into the lower spinal cord but in very small doses, the
effect is 100 times as large as morphine or gabaentin pain relief drugs
because the cone-based drugs target different receptors to opiates and
produces the same addiction response without any side effects.
Cone snails use different venoms for hunting prey and defending
themselves against predators. The most venomous cone snail is Conus
geographus which is very dangerous and its LD50 is 0.001-0.003
mg/kg but only 0.0002-0.0005 mg resulted severe paralysis in human.
Even though some compounds found in cone snail venom are proteins
which are isolated and have great potential as pain-killing drugs.
Conantokin-G is a toxin derived from the venom of C. Geographus and
only 15 -20 of the venom's 100-200 toxic peptides are used for
feeding.
Recently the venom of cone snail, Conus magus is used for paralyzed the
fish before eating. This venom is made of hundreds of different peptides
which are harmful to the human but one particular peptide in the venom
can dramatically reduce pain by directl
CONCLUSION
Though the snail venom is poisonous to the human but its few peptides
have great potential to reduce pain which is more potent that morphine.
But still human trials are ongoing for the effectiveness and safety study.
