Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the behavioral effects of tramadol administered orally at doses of 20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg for 49 days in BALB/c mice. Standardized behavioral tests, including the Open Field (OF), Elevated Cross Maze (ECM), Morris Water Maze (MWM), Y-maze, and Object Recognition Test (NOR), were used to measure motor activity, anxiety, and spatial and nonspatial memory. The results revealed that mice treated with the high dose of tramadol (40 mg/kg) exhibited significant reductions in motor activity, increased anxiety, and cognitive deficits in both spatial and nonspatial memory. In contrast, mice treated with 20 mg/kg tramadol exhibited increased exploratory activity during treatment, but these effects were transient. Control mice (treated with distilled water) showed no significant changes during the experiment. These results suggest that tramadol , although effective for its analgesic properties, may impair memory and increase anxiety when administered at high doses over a prolonged period. These findings highlight the importance of managing opioid side effects in a clinical and research setting.
