Neuropathic Pain – Landscape & Forecast – Disease Landscape & Forecast

The treatment of neuropathic pain involves the use of drugs from several drug classes, including antidepressants, antiepileptic drugs, local anesthetics, dual-acting opioid analgesics, and opioid analgesics. Despite the increasing availability of generic analgesics from these drug classes, as well as the continued entrenchment of select therapies as key treatment options for neuropathic pain, unmet need for new analgesics—particularly those with novel mechanisms of action—remains, driven by the growing prevalence of the neuropathic pain patient population and the sizable percentage of patients refractory to current treatment.

  • What is the commercial potential of late-phase analgesic products in the neuropathic pain market should they launch?
  • How will the neuropathic pain therapy market evolve over the next decade in light of expanding generic competition and the entrance of new treatments through 2028?
