Bioresorbable, Implantable Device to Block Pain Signals
It is well known that cold temperatures numb the sensation in our nerves. Evidence suggests that cooling peripheral nerves can in fact reduce the velocity and amplitude of neural signals that cause pain, leading to pain relief. What's great about this approach is that if made possible, it will be completely reversible and non-addictive.
