A Chemogenetic Therapy for Neuropathic Pain
Invention Summary:
Neuropathic pain (NP) typically arises as a consequence of a lesion or disease affecting peripheral nerve fibers. Prominent features in the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain include increased, ectopic neuronal activity in pain pathways. In general, NP is frequently refractory to conventional analgesics and currently there are...

An Injectable and Long-Acting Local Anesthetics
Invention Summary: Local anesthetics prevent or relieve pain by interrupting nerve conduction. Even the long-acting local anesthetic agents (e.g., bupivacaine, levobupivacaine, ropivacaine) can only provide analgesia for 4-18 hours. Because of the short duration, local anesthetics often have to be given by repeated injection or continuous infusion....
