Funded Activity Summary

Novel polymeric microparticles for slow-release intrathecal delivery of analgesics. Unrelieved chronic pain is a large area of unmet medical need, adversely affecting the lives of millions of people worldwide. This project seeks to develop innovative methods for delivering a novel pain-relieving medication into the spinal fluid in close proximity to the cells that transmit pain messages to the brain. The goal is to develop a new treatment to produce prolonged periods of pain relief in those patients who do not obtain benefit from existing pain medications. The technology that will be developed has the potential to be applied to a broad range of analgesic drug treatments.
