Description
Patryk Ostrowski, Iris Deng, and Edward Kobraei report early use of a dissolvable gel cap that shields cut nerve ends to stop painful neuromas, in a 2025 study. Neuromas, tangled regrowth at a nerve stump, cause chronic pain after injury or amputation. Current fixes need microsurgery and give uneven relief.
The review covered 11 patients and 23 nerves, most treated preventively during other surgery and two for existing neuromas. No preventive patient grew a neuroma or nerve pain in at least six months of follow-up. Both treated patients reported clear pain drops on a standard scale. The gel went on quickly without sutures, and no gel-related problems appeared.
