  • Abstract
    Focal drug delivery using microparticles holds great promise in treating specific disorders in the peripheral and central nervous systems. In the peripheral nervous system, controlled release technology is readily applicable to providing prolonged nerve blockade, while in the central nervous system there is increasing interest in its uses for epilepsy and movement disorders.
