A Novel Thermal Block Technology To Block Nerve Conduction

Category: Grant

Many chronic disorders like obesity, chronic pain, heart failure and bladder voiding dysfunction are caused by neuronal overactivity in the peripheral or central nervous system. Currently, there is no safe and reliable method to suppress or block peripheral nerve activity that can be used for these broad clinical applications. The grant will be used to develop an implantable thermal nerve block that will be safe and easily deliverable.
