Endorphins are natural pain-relieving chemicals produced by the body. Endorphin agonists bind to the endorphin receptors in the brain, triggering the release of more endorphins and thereby reducing the sensation of pain.

Therefore, endorphin agonists decrease pain while endorphin antagonists increase pain.
