A team of researchers from Northwestern University, USA, has developed the first-of-its-kind small, soft, flexible, microfluidic, bioresorbable implant that relieves pain on demand, thereby eliminating the need for opioids and other potentially addictive analgesic drugs. Researchers also conducted multiweek in vivo trials and demonstrated the ability of this implant to rapidly and precisely cool peripheral nerves to provide local, on-demand analgesia in rat models of neuropathic pain.
