O nouă metodă de luptă contra durerii cronice. Un dispozitiv minuscul injectabil poate controla nervii • Newsweek România
Researchers have developed a tiny injectable device that can control nerve activity to treat chronic pain and movement disorders without surgery or batteries. This seed-sized device, powered wirelessly from outside the body, has shown promising results in initial tests. It can be injected near a specific nerve and delivers precise electrical signals to modify nerve activity. The technology aims to provide a less invasive alternative to existing treatments, allowing real-time adjustments to stimulation. The device can be monitored using standard imaging techniques, enhancing its safety and accessibility. Initial laboratory and preclinical tests indicate its effectiveness in live organisms, marking a significant step towards practical medical applications.
