Researchers develop injectable device to control nerves without surgery

Article excerpt

Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi and Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi have created a miniature injectable device that controls nerve activity without surgery, batteries, or wires. The breakthrough offers a simpler alternative to treating chronic pain and movement disorders, conditions that currently often require invasive surgical implants. By eliminating the need for external power sources and surgical intervention, the device could expand access to nerve-modulation therapies for patients who might otherwise face limited treatment options or significant procedural risks.
