A member asked:
Can you explain the agents that can stop nerve transmission?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: There are dozens of these. That is the basis of pain management medicine and most of anesthesia. It also depends on what type of nerve transmission you want to stop - pain, motor, sensory and where - central or peripheral. This is an extremely large topic.

Local anesthetics: Block sodium channels on the nerve, thereby preventing the propagation of an electrical signal.
