End to Chronic Pain with a Single Injection: New Technology from Scientists

A small injectable device could transform the way nerve stimulation is performed.

Ambassador Arjan: A small injectable device can revolutionize the way of nerve stimulation.

This small device is placed near the target nerve and receives and sends the required electrical stimulation without batteries or wires. The energy of the device is provided wirelessly from outside the body, and the intensity of its electrical signals can be adjusted according to the treatment needs. Researchers say this technology could be a less invasive alternative to some current methods of nerve stimulation; Procedures that may require surgery or the use of implantable devices. Also, doctors can determine the position of the device and check it after injection with the help of common imaging methods such as ultrasound and CT scan.

This technology has been evaluated in laboratory tests and preclinical studies. Preliminary results show that the device is able to provide accurate and stable nerve stimulation; However, it is still unclear to what extent its use in human patients can reduce chronic pain or improve movement disorders. Researchers emphasize that confirming the safety and effectiveness of this technology requires further studies. The results of this research have been published in the scientific journal Science Advances.
