Preparations from the skin of the Arabian Gulf catfish involving biologically active proteins and lipids exhibit profound effects on healing of back pain and other related types of pain, when applied topically once every 24 hrs for 3‐7 days. The preparations seem to act on inflammation, and demyelination in the nervous tissues as well as repair damage to soft tissues. Treated cases included cervical, thoracic, lumber, sacral, knee and foot joint pain. Carpal tunnel syndrome and pain in the lower limbs related to diabetes were also treated with good success. The treatment seems to be very effective providing surgical intervention is not necessary. (Supported in part by Mr. M. Al‐Naki and Kuwait University)
