To address this, suzetrigine, a highly selective blocker of the NaV1.8 channel, is used. While current pain medications often have side effects that limit their use, NaV1.8 is a promising target for new, non-opioid pain treatments because it is primarily located in the nerves that send pain signals to the brain.This study is a randomised, placebo-controlled…
