What if chronic nerve pain isn’t just something to block, but something to fix at the cellular level? New study reveals potential way to “recharge” nerve cells to relieve long-term pain

Scientists are exploring a new way to treat chronic nerve pain by focusing on mitochondria, the energy-producing parts of cells. Researchers from Duke University School of Medicine found that damaged nerves may improve when healthy mitochondria are restored or shared between cells. The study suggests pain may be linked to cellular energy failure, opening possibilities for future treatments that repair rather than mask symptoms.
