What is any drug that inhibits transmission of sensory impulses at a synapse?

A drug that inhibits transmission of sensory impulses at a synapse is a nerve block agent. These drugs work by blocking the transmission of nerve signals through the synapse, effectively reducing or eliminating sensation in a specific area of the body. Nerve block agents are commonly used for regional anesthesia and pain management procedures.
