Patients suffering from persistent conditions such as chronic pain are typically faced with two choices: enduring the symptoms of their condition, or acceptance of the consequences of taking large volumes of systemic drugs. There has been significant research worldwide on the development of sustainable, biodegradable, localized medicine delivery systems which aim to address this issue. Until recently, such systems have only functioned for several weeks at the most, but now, researchers at MIT have developed a technique that may lengthen the life span of targeted drug delivery systems to up to 14 months.
