Augment Growth of Deep Brain Stimulation Devices Market - Increasing Prevalence of Parkinson’s Disease and Approval and Launch of New Products
Deep brain stimulation is a non-invasive neurosurgical
treatment involving the placement of an electronic device called a simulator
that emits electronic pulses, into the brain. These pulses are delivered to the
area where there is the greatest need for stimulation, in the area known as the
cerebral cortex. The purpose of this treatment is to increase brain function
and improve brain function. This treatment is often used in conjunction with
other procedures and is also very successful when it is used alone.
Market Dynamics
Increasing prevalence of Parkinson’s disease is expected to
propel growth of the global deep brain stimulation devices market. For instance, according to the study, ‘Prevalence of
Parkinson’s disease (PD) across North America”, published in July 2018 in the
journal Nature, the number of people suffering from PD is expected to reach
930,000 in 2020 and 1,238,000 in 2030.
Increasing number of clinical trials for deep brain
stimulation devices is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for
players in the global deep brain stimulation devices market. For instance, in
January 2021, Medtronic plc announced the first enrollment in ADAPT-PD, a trial
evaluating the safety and efficacy of adaptive deep brain stimulation in
patients with Parkinson's disease. Similarly, in October 2020, Keck Medicine of
USC announced to enroll individuals in an international phase 3 clinical trial
to examine the safety and effectiveness of deep brain stimulation to treat
Alzheimer’s.
However, there are risks in adoption of deep brain
stimulation devices such as cerebral hemorrhage, paralysis, stroke, speech
impairment, and other complications, which are expected to hinder growth of the
global deep brain stimulation devices market.
Competitive Landscape
Major players operating in the global deep brain stimulation
devices market include, Boston Scientific Corporation, Medtronic, plc., St.
Jude Medical, Inc. (Abbott Laboratories), Cyberonics, Inc., Neuronetics, and
Aleva Neurotherapeutics SA.
Major players operating in the global deep brain stimulation
devices market are focused on approval and launch of new products to expand
their product portfolio. For instance, in June 2020, Medtronic Plc received the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its Percept PC
Neurostimulator designed to allow for a more individualized use of deep brain
stimulation therapy in people with Parkinson’s disease and related disorders.
Similarly, in December 2019, Aleva Neurotherapeutics received CE Mark for its
flagship product, the directSTIMTM Deep Brain Stimulation System.
