Background: Pain is one of the symptoms of inflammation. The drug for pain has side effect of gastrointestinal irritation. Therefore, the development of the drug for pain is needed. The ethanol extract of lemongrass is potential as antipain. Method: Quasi experimental with linear pattern of complete random design was given to 25 male wistar rats. They were given the ethanol extract of lemongrass with 3-dosage variations (5%, 10%, 20%). The analgesic test was assessed using the score onset on rats put on a Hot Plate. The data analysis used was one way ANOVA. Results: The result of analgesic test shows that there is no analgesic effect in decreasing the onset of pain on rats after being given the ethanol extract of lemongrass since the ethanol extract of lemongrass does not hamper the nociceptive pain. Conclusion: The ethanol extract of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) in all dosages does not have any effects as analgetics on male wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus).
