More than 107,000 Americans died from drug overdose in 2021, highlighting the need for evidence-based interventions.

Northwestern University researchers have developed a small, soft, flexible implant that relieves pain on demand and without drugs.

A gene therapy for chronic pain, developed by researchers at UC San Diego, could offer a safer, non-addictive alternative to opioids.

The device, worn on the stomach like an insulin pump, senses when a person stops breathing and moving, and injects a lifesaving antidote.

Researchers may have uncovered new answers on how to create safer opioids by to bypassing the part of brain that feels pleasure.
