Scientists Develop Local Anesthetic That Lasts Weeks Instead of Hours
The findings could help researchers make local anesthetics last longer in people. Patients recovering from surgery may need pain relief beyond the eight to 12 hours, or about a day at most, that most local anesthetics provide. Seeking a longer-lasting option, researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital have redesigned liposomes, microscopic carriers made from fatty molecules, [...]
Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital have redesigned microscopic lipid carriers to extend the duration of local anesthesia from hours to weeks. This revolutionary method, using pufferfish venom and providing numbness for up to three weeks in mice, is being touted as a potential replacement for opioid use in post-operative pain management.
Scientists have developed a new method that can extend the duration of local anesthesia from hours to weeks. AzEdu.az reports, citing foreign media, that researchers at Boston Children's Hospital have developed microscopic lipid carriers - liposomes - that release the drug more slowly. In tests on mice, the new form...
Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital developed a local anesthetic that can provide pain relief for up to three weeks, exceeding the typical duration of eight to twelve hours of conventional anesthetics.
