New pain relief that is eight times stronger than morphine: "The revolutionary technique involves an injection that can combat serious discomfort for more than three days - 14 times as long as morphine.
The substance, which can be injected, appears to have few side effects and works by neutralising the chemical in the body that causes the brain to feel pain.
A team at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill School of Medicine have pinpointed the identity of a particular 'pain protein' in nerve cells and have found a way of converting it from a substance that causes pain into ones that suppress it.
'This protein has the potential to be a groundbreaking treatment for pain,' said lead study author Mark Zylka, assistant professor of cell and molecular physiology at UNC."
