Abstract:The opioid epidemic poses a significant public health challenge, stemming from the widespread misuse and abuse of opioids for pain management. Stem cell therapy (SCT) and non-opioid anesthesia emerge as promising alternatives to traditional opioid-based treatments, offering effective pain relief while mitigating the risks of addiction and overdose. SCT involves undifferentiated cells, which can differentiate into various cell types to promote tissue repair and alleviate pain. Non-opioid anesthesia employs tech… Show more
