  1. In conclusion • The chemical QAQ can form a off switch for pain by blocking the nociceptors. • QAQ can be turned on and off with different wavelengths of light. • QAQ is similar to Lidocaine from the dentist. • QAQ can be selective to nerve cells actively sensing pain, unlike Lidocaine.

  2. The Pain-Free Future The researchers still say “It’s a long way off” due to the fact the light is not able to pass through human skin. But wouldn’t it be amazing to be able to just turn off pain? With more research, the possibilities are unless. Some day we might be painless from just the flip of switch.
