Introduction Opioid medications are no longer recommended as long-term therapy for chronic non-cancer pain, and many patients are advised to reduce or discontinue opioid medications.Many patients report difficulties in tapering opioid medications, necessitating supporting interventions.This protocol describes a pilot randomised controlled trial (RC
Nanophotonic devices with high densities are extremely attractive because they can potentially merge photonics and electronics at the nanoscale.However, traditional integrated photonic Fabric Chalk circuits are designed primarily by manually selecting parameters or employing semi-analytical models.Limited by the small parameter search space, the de
