The use of medicinal plants is present since the ancient times of civilization, currently being used as a complement in the treatment of pathologies. In Sergipe, more specifically in Mussuca community in Orange, the use of medicinal plants is closely linked to the cultural aspects of the community. Medicinal plants in Mussuca can be found in large quantities in the backyards of residents. Even as this massive amount of medicinal plants from various genres, few studies of pharmacological prospecting etnodirigida performed in maroon territories. In this sense, this work was to carry out an ethnopharmacological survey of medicinal plants with antinociceptive properties in maroon community Mussuca and is presented in three chapters. In the first chapter described the general introduction, objectives and literature review. In the second chapter an ethnobotanical survey was presented from popular knowledge for the identification of medicinal plants used in the antinociceptive activity Mussuca community in pain management.
