More than 30 million people in the United States are afflicted with osteoarthritic (OA) pain; we expect an aging population and the increasing prevalence of obesity to drive further growth. Although a wide array of medications is used to treat OA pain, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antidepressants, antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), and intra-articular agents, unmet need exists for novel, comprehensively effective, and tolerable alternatives. The successful launch of a novel analgesic requires a granular understanding of treatment patterns in this crowded and highly generic market.
