Muscle Spasticity Market
When muscles become stiff or contract, the condition is called as muscle spasticity. Muscle spasticity is seen in a variety of conditions such as spinal cord injury, brain injury, diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS). It occurs when the nerve impulses involved in controlling muscle movement are either damaged or interrupted. Muscle spasticity can cause a difficulty in talking, moving, or stretching.
Symptoms of muscle spasticity include increased muscle tone, involuntary movements, abnormal posture, pain or discomfort, bone and joint deformities, decreased ability to function, and others. Spasticity should be treated when it causes pain, interferes with daily activities or sleep, or leads to decreased ability to function. Treatment given is based on the patient’s needs, preferences, and goals. The treatment includes physical therapy, occupational therapy, casting or bracing, and oral medications. Surgery may also be needed in certain cases. Oral medications are only used when the symptoms interfere with daily activities or sleep. Common medications include baclofen, dantrolene sodium, botulinum toxin, diazepam, and others.
Market Dynamics
The increasing launches of new drugs and regulatory approvals for muscle spasticity are expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in July 2021, Merz Therapeutics, a business of the Merz Group and a leader in the field of neurotoxins, and Teijin Pharma Limited, the core company of the Teijin Group’s healthcare business, jointly announced that Teijin Pharma was granted additional approval by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) to market Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA), a neurotoxin treatment for intramuscular injection in 50, 100 or 200 units for the treatment of lower limb spasticity.
