Materials and methods: Twenty female Wistar Albino rats were used in our study. The rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: Sham and Surgery + Thymoquinone. Both groups underwent laminectomy at L1 under general anesthesia. The Sham group was not subjected to any drug application. The 2nd group was treated with intraperitoneal 10-mg/kg thymoquinone once per day for a period of 28 days, following the same surgical procedure. All of the group specimens were sacrificed after 4 weeks, and the laminectomy area was examined in terms of new bone volume, capillary volume, and fibrosis volume using stereological approaches. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the Sham and Surgery + Thymoquinone groups in terms of new bone volume (P = 0.01), capillary volume (P = 0.01), and fibrosis volume (P < 0.001). It was noted that Thymoquinone caused a significant increase in new bone volume, vascular volume and, a significant decrease in fibrosis volume. Conclusion: The results of our study indicate that thymoquinone is effective in decreasing peridural fibrosis when applied to a laminectomy model.
