a Group of scientists have developed a prototype medical device for doctors that can effectively, quickly and with minimal surgical intervention to relieve the person from pain. The pain occurs due to electrical impulses in the nerves, so doctors and look for ways to influence them directly for relief of unpleasant or unbearable sensations.

In recent years, a practice the implantation of neuromodulators suffering from migraine. This process is very time consuming, and can execute it in the world, there are less than 10 people. In addition, the efficiency depends, did the doctors to the desired nerve.

shows a device in the form of a large ballpoint pen is called Chimaera: it allows you to find the nerve thanks in advance made by computed tomography and gadget like Google Glass, writes Reuters.

using the device, the physician can observe in real time "map" of the placement of the anatomical structures and guide the implant to the target, avoiding unnecessary cuts and injuries to the patient. Chimaera by using built-in sensors and sensors will allow to find the shortest path will not allow you to lose a point to place neuromodulator and will help to install the implant.

While Chimaera exists as a "concept car", as said by its developers for its production requires investments and partners.
