Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Texas at Dallas, and the University of Miami have discovered a potential non-opioid treatment for chronic pain. The researchers identified a molecule called FEM-1689 that reduces hypersensitivity in mice trials by binding to a protein involved in neuropathic pain. This compound does not engage opioid receptors in the body, making it a possible alternative to existing pain medications linked to addiction. The researchers aim to develop this compound into a drug that can effectively treat chronic pain without the dangers of opioids. [Extracted from the article] |
