Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is an FDA approved popular biodegradable copolymer, which has several applications in the pharmaceuticals and biomedical industries. But the degradation and stability of PLGA is a major problem. The objective of this research work was to evaluate the effect of the Trivedi Effect ® -Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the physicochemical and thermal properties of PLGA using modern analytical techniques. The test sample was divided into control and treated parts. The control part of the test sample did not receive the Biofield Energy Treatment; whereas the other part of the sample received the Biofield Energy Treatment remotely by a famous Biofield Energy Healer, Gopal Nayak and was known as a treated sample. The particle size values were significantly increased by 15.76% (d 10 ), 15.73% (d 50 ), 12.04% (d 90 ), and 13.81% {D(4,3)}; hence, the specific surface area was significantly decreased by 12.45% in the treated sample compared to the control sample. The latent heat of evaporation and latent heat of fusion were altered by 1.05% and -55.13%, respectively in the treated PLGA compared with the control sample. The total weight loss was significantly increased by 10.34%; however, the residue amount was 95.77% less in the treated PLGA sample compared to the control sample. From these results, it can be concluded that the Trivedi Effect ® -Consciousness Energy Healing Treated PLGA may show better flowability, shape, and appearance compared with the control PLGA. The Biofield Energy Treated PLGA can provide better benefits for designing the pharmaceutical/nutraceutical formulations and manufacturing of biomedical devices, i.e., sutures, grafts, surgical sealant films, prosthetic devices, implants, micro, and nanoparticles.

INTRODUCTION Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved copolymer, which is popular among the several available biodegradable polymers with long clinical experience (Makadia et al., 2011). This copolymer is a synthesized from the polylactic acid and glycolic acid. On hydrolysis of its ester linkages releases the monomers. The two monomers are the by-products of various metabolic pathways, therefore exhibit minimum systemic toxicity in the body. Higher the content of glycolide units in the PLGA unit, lower the time required for degradation. Thus, it has a great deal of attention in research and development due to its mechanical resistance, constant biodegradation rate, and regular individual chain geometry (Erbettan et al., 2012). The PLGA is used for the manufacturing of biomedical devices, i.e., prosthetic devices, grafts, sutures, surgical sealant films, implants, micro, and nanoparticles (Pavot et al., 2014). It is amongst the FDA-approved polymers as a delivery vehicle for drugs, proteins, and other macromolecules such as peptides, RNA, and DNA (Makadia et al., 2011). Explicitly, PLGA is useful
