Pain and inflammation are complex physiological responses that significantly impact the quality of life for millions of individuals worldwide. Current pharmacological treatments often present substantial risks, underscoring the need for safer and more effective therapeutic options. Aim: This review aims to comprehensively explore the potential of phytochemicals as modulators of the Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channel, a key player in pain and inflammation pathways. Material and Methods: A detailed examination of the mechanisms of action, therapeutic benefits, and current research status of various phytochemicals was conducted. Special attention was given to bioactive compounds derived from plants such as capsaicin, curcumin, gingerol, eugenol, and piperine, alongside cocoa constituents like theobromine and epicatechin. Results: Phytochemicals exhibit diverse mechanisms of action on TRPV1, offering analgesic and anti-inflammatory benefits with potentially fewer adverse effects compared to conventional medications. Capsaicin, curcumin, gingerol, eugenol, and piperine have demonstrated significant therapeutic potential. However, the application of cocoa constituents in pain and inflammation management requires further exploration and preclinical testing. Conclusion: This study underscores the promising therapeutic potential of phytochemicals as TRPV1 modulators. A multidisciplinary approach involving healthcare providers, researchers, and regulatory agencies is essential for the effective integration of phytochemical-based therapies into clinical practice. Future research should focus on elucidating molecular mechanisms, exploring synergistic interactions, and conducting large-scale clinical trials to establish long-term safety and efficacy, thereby enhancing pain and inflammation management and overall patient care
