The analgesic activities and their components of Astilbe chinensis var. davidii Rhizomes were evaluated. The ether and ethylacetate fractions of 70% EtOH extract showed considerable analgesic activities by acetic acid induced writhing method. Compound $1{\sim}5$ were isolated from ethylacetate fraction and identified as gallic acid, (+)-catechin, (+)-gallocatechin, bergenin and 11-O-galloylbergenin on the basis of spectroscopic methods.
