A Painkiller Without the High?

Imagine a painkiller that actually works—without the risk of addiction or that opioid “high.” Researchers at Duke just tested a new drug, SBI-810, that targets pain in a totally different way. It skips the euphoric buzz, so it’s way less likely to be abused. Bonus: it outperformed gabapentin and didn’t cause the usual side effects like sedation or memory issues. Human trials are next, but this could be a total game-changer for anyone dealing with chronic pain or recovering from surgery. #PainRelief #OpioidCrisis #MedicalBreakthrough #ChronicPain #HealthNews #Health
