Researchers reviewed how tiny drug-delivery particles — including nanofibers, liposomes, and gel-based carriers — can treat chronic pain more safely and precisely than standard painkillers, by targeting exactly where pain signals originate and releasing medication slowly over time.
1
Nanofiber-based topical systems provide controlled drug release and enhanced loading capacity compared to conventional creams or patches.
2
Injectable nanocarriers reduce systemic toxicity by delivering analgesics locally, prolonging pain relief without requiring higher doses.
3
Emerging tools like CRISPR gene editing and ROS-scavenging nanomaterials extend the concept beyond drug delivery to modulating the biological mechanisms that generate chronic pain.
