Goodbye Ibuprofen? Scientists find new way to block pain without slowing healing
Groundbreaking research suggests pain and inflammation can be separated, offering hope for safer pain relief. A Nature study revealed targeting the EP2 receptor on nerve-supporting cells in mice blocked pain without hindering natural healing or causing traditional painkiller side effects. This breakthrough could revolutionise chronic pain management and surgical recovery, potentially leading to next-generation drugs for millions of Americans.
