INTRODUCTION
The goal of BCC Research in conducting this study was to determine the present status of the worldwide pain-management market and also to evaluate its potential over the five-year period from 2007 to 2012. The pain-management market has been analyzed considering two main segments: pharmaceuticals and devices. The pharmaceuticals segment is further subdivided into different types, such as non-opioids, opioids, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants, whereas the medical devices segments is segmented into transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), spinal cord stimulator (SCS) and peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS), and intrathecal pumps.
SCOPE OF STUDY
This report contains:
The major types of pain-management methods, including drugs (non-opioids, opioids, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants) and devices (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), spinal cord stimulator (SCS), peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS), and intrathecal pumps)
Analysis of each type of pain-relief technique, determining its current market status, its impact on future markets, and growth over the 5-year period 2007 through 2012
Technological issues, including the latest trends, plus other influential factors, such as patents, new products, and other adjuvant techniques of pain management.
METHODOLOGY
BCC Research presents an analysis by each segment of pain relief, depending on its technique, considering the base year 2007. Estimated values are based on what manufacturers have paid in undepreciated dollars. P>INFORMATION SOURCES
The major sources of information for this study have been primary research done by interviewing a majority of the key players in this industry. Secondary research was compiled from Internet company websites, as well as current financial and trade information, and information from government sources.
