  • Meet the Company Changing Pain Relief!
    Aug 22 2025

    Discover a groundbreaking innovation in chronic pain relief that’s redefining the future of non-opioid treatment. In this captivating episode of MedHeads,

    Dr. Ferghal Armstrong interviews Samir Sabir, the founder and CEO of Brixton Biosciences, about their revolutionary new product:

    Neural Ice.Designed to deliver three to six months of drug-free pain relief with a single injection, Neural Ice is an ultra-long-acting nerve block that uses a completely non-pharmaceutical, cryo-based mechanism to temporarily shut down pain-conducting nerves.

    Unlike traditional methods like steroids, radiofrequency ablation (RF), or opioids, this high-tech frozen injection is simple, targeted, and potentially game-changing—especially for patients with chronic knee, hip, or thumb joint pain.

    Learn how this Harvard-born technology uses cryolipolysis to induce reversible nerve desensitisation, how it bypasses the risks and complexities of RF, and why it could soon become a standard office-based procedure performed not only by pain doctors but also by orthopaedic surgeons and sports medicine specialists.

    If you're looking for non-invasive, long-lasting, and clinician-friendly alternatives to steroids or surgery, this episode is a must-watch. Get the inside scoop on the clinical trials, FDA journey, and the vision for a pain-free future—without the use of opioids.
