Revealing the Secret to a Pain Free Life

People born with a rare genetic mutation are unable to feel pain, but previous attempts to recreate this effect with drugs have had surprisingly little success. Using mice modified to carry the same mutation, UCL researchers funded by the MRC and Wellcome Trust have now discovered the recipe for painlessness.

People born without the ability to feel pain tend to end up with serious lacerations that are not treated until its too late. It’s not a good idea to completely block pain.

They then gave naloxone to a 39-year-old woman with the rare mutation and she felt pain for the first time in her life.

Why the heck have they never tried this before? I mean, it’s pretty a darn obvious thing to try.

The secret ingredient turned out to be good old-fashioned opioid peptides, and we have now filed a patent for combining low dose opioids with Nav1.7 blockers.

Let’s hope the patent is refused, so this strategy becomes publically available at minimal cost immediately.
