Controlled and directed local delivery of anti-inflammatory compositions

摘要

The invention provides a method for alleviating pain associated with neuromuscular or skeletal injury or inflammation by controlled and directed delivery of one or more biological response modifiers to inhibit the inflammatory response which ultimately causes acute or chronic pain. Controlled and directed delivery can be provided by implantable or infusion pumps, implantable controlled release devices, or by sustained release compositions comprising biological response modifiers.
