NYU Abu Dhabi scientists create seed-sized injectable device for nerve control
Scientists at NYU Abu Dhabi and Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi developed a seed-sized injectable device to treat chronic pain and movement disorders on October 10, 2026.
Device design and delivery method
The technology is roughly the size of a small seed. Doctors can deliver it through a standard needle without performing surgery. Once inside the body, the device positions itself close to a specific nerve.
power source and control mechanism
Wireless power and real-time adjustment
Power is supplied wirelessly from outside the body rather than using internal batteries. Medical staff can adjust the electrical stimulation in real time to alter nerve activity. This approach avoids the need for connecting wires to external equipment.
