NanoCola ® Solid gold polymer coated neurobots
The urgent demand for chronic pain relief has highlighted the need for advancements in nanotechnology and pharmaceutical science, attracting attention from scientists in materials science, biomaterials, and chemistry. After decades of progress, the use of nanotechnology for chronic pain relief has been regarded as promising, prompting several clinical trials. However, the development of these smart nanomaterials is still in its infancy, with many unexplored opportunities.
Nanotechnology is a combination of chemistry, physics, materials science, and biology, to bring together the required collective expertise needed to develop these novel technologies 1. Nanorobots are mainly the nano-devices that are used for providing protection or treatment against pathogens in humans. They are designed to perform a particular task or sometimes tasks with precision at nanoscale dimensions of 1-100 nm 2. They are expected to work at atomic, molecular, and cellular levels in both medical and industrial fields.
The U.S. Military Wants to Inject People's Brains With Painkilling Nanobots.
DARPA, the American government’s controversial, ultra-high-tech military gadget and research lab, is developing wireless, “ultra-miniaturized” and injectable electronic devices that could eventually -- and quite literally heal their pain and keep them healthy. The five-year, $80 million government bankrolled neuroprosthetic research program is fittingly called the Electrical Prescriptions initiative. But you can call it ElecRx (pronounced electrics) for short.
Nanotechnology in Chronic Pain Relief
Increasing awareness of chronic pain due to both injury and disease have encouraged drug companies and pharmaceutical researchers alike to design and fabricate better, more specific drugs for pain relief. However, overuse of clinically available pain medication has caused a multitude of negative repercussions, including drug tolerance, addiction, and other severe side effects, which can prolong suffering and reduce pain mediation. Applications of nanotechnology to the field of drug delivery has sought to enhance the treatment efficiency, lower side effects, and mitigate the formation of tolerance. The use of nanomaterials has several advantages for chronic pain relief, such as controlled release, prolonged circulation time, and limited side effects.
Nan0Cola ® is on the forward leading edge of this new medical frontier.
