Not yet: This is an experimental form of therapy, has not yet taken to clinic. In experimental systems it looks promising, but you will not be able to obtain it till it has been tested in humans.

Clinical trials: Nanoparticles are not available for standard treatment, however they are currently being evaluated in human clinical trials. Each clinical trial has its own inclusion and exclusion rules. It may be possible to get enrolled on such a study at the current time. To emphasize, we do not know at the current time if these will work worse, the same, or better than conventional treatment.
