Project Description:
Pain is the number one reason Americans access the healthcare system. Currently used narcotic analgesics such as opioids are often associated with high rates of misuse/abuse and accidental overdose. The proposed project will test an alternative for controlling pain while at the same time reducing the unwanted side effects and complications of standard opioid treatments.
