Cooling Away the Pain: Pusan National University Researchers develop Bioresorbable, Implantable Device to Block Pain Signals from Peripheral Nerves
Opioid use is highly effective for pain management but is associated with high rates of addiction and deaths due to overdose. Now, an international team of researchers has developed a soft, bioresorbable, implantable device which can provide a cooling effect to peripheral nerves, leading to blocking of pain signals. The device demonstrated high precision and…
