class=\"wp-caption-text\">A nerve injury can interfere with the capability of the brain to connect with muscles and organs.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers have created a variant of Botox that may provide patients with chronic nerve injury with long-term pain relief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Botox is the brand name of a muscle relaxant that is administered topically in very low doses to the face in the form of injections in order to reduce the appearance of creases and lines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a protein created from the Botulinum toxin, which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Botulinum toxin is safe when used at low concentrations, but large doses can cause temporary muscle paralysis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Botox has been modified by scientists in the United Kingdom and the United States to alleviate pain without paralysis or other unintended consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although not yet tested on humans, the modified Botox appears to have a similar effect duration to that of cosmetic Botox (up to five months).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the currently available pain medications are limited by dangerous side effects, modified Botox may be able to help those who struggle to manage their chronic pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic pain sufferers require additional methods for controlling their discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, they require medications that are both safer and more effective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In animal models of human pain, these newly discovered botulinum molecules effectively reduce pain-like behavior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are millions of people whose lives are negatively impacted by chronic pain, but this method has the potential to pave the way for the development of pain treatments that could significantly enhance their quality of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since long-term use of opioid pain relievers like morphine and fentanyl carries the risk of addiction, abuse, and fatal overdose, these drugs can only be used for temporary pain relief.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_37816\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img

class=\"wp-caption-text\">Modified Botox can alleviate long-term relief from pain caused by nerve injuries.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using Clostridium botulinum components, this method represents a novel attempt to recreate Botox.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By taking the original Botox and reassembling it with longer components, we get the &#8220;elongated&#8221; version.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This variant of Botox did not induce paralysis or other harmful effects in animal testing with rats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is currently no one-and-done treatment for persistent pain, and the vast majority of analgesics have undesirable side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, we need to see if a single injection of this new nonparalytic blocker at the site of pain can produce long-lasting pain relief in humans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is hoped that the modified drug will help millions of people around the world who live with chronic pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training for Botox is currently being made available to those working in the medical field.
