- What Are the Latest Technologies Advancing Pain Management in the Healthcare Industry?
In recent years, significant advancements in pain management have emerged, incorporating a range of technologies from pharmacological innovations to neuromodulation devices.
Companies like Abbott Laboratories and Stryker Corporation have introduced Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) devices and Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) systems that use electrical impulses to interfere with pain signals before they reach the brain. Abbott's Proclaim™ XR SCS System, for example, offers low-dose, long-term pain relief without the need for daily recharging.
This technology is particularly beneficial for chronic pain patients who seek consistent pain management solutions without the side effects associated with opioids.
Another innovation is Regenerative Medicine, which leverages stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to promote healing in damaged tissues, providing a non-invasive option for pain management.
Codman And Shurtleff, Inc and DJO LLC have been exploring these treatments, integrating them with physical therapy and rehabilitation programs to enhance patient outcomes.
- How Are Biopharmaceutical Innovations Revolutionizing Pain Treatment?
Biopharmaceutical companies are at the forefront of developing new pain management drugs that target specific pain pathways, reducing the dependency on opioids.
- Hoffmann-La Roche Ltdand Eli Lilly & Companyhave been focusing on monoclonal antibodies that act on CGRP (Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide) receptors, showing promising results in migraine and neuropathic pain treatment.
Roche's Emgality® (galcanezumab) and Eli Lilly’s Taltz® (ixekizumab) are examples of drugs that have significantly reduced the frequency and intensity of migraines in clinical trials.
Abbvie, following its acquisition of Allergan, has continued to innovate in this area, particularly with the development of Botulinum toxin formulations for chronic pain management.
This approach targets the neuromuscular junctions to block pain signals and has shown efficacy in patients with refractory pain conditions.
- What Are the Benefits of Combining Pharmacological and Device-Based Pain Therapies?
Combining pharmacological treatments with device-based therapies is gaining traction, offering a holistic approach to pain management.
Bayer AG and AstraZeneca plc have been researching synergistic treatment protocols that incorporate both medication and neurostimulation.
For example, Bayer's use of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) devices alongside NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) has demonstrated improved pain control in musculoskeletal disorders.
Moreover, Endo Health Solution has been pioneering the integration of Opioid-Sparing Technologies, combining lower doses of pain medications with radiofrequency ablation and other minimally invasive procedures.
This reduces the risk of addiction and dependency while maintaining effective pain relief for conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia.
- How Are Companies Addressing the Global Need for Non-Opioid Pain Relief Alternatives?
The global push towards non-opioid pain relief has spurred innovation across the industry.
Allergan, a key player in this field, has developed topical formulations and injectable biologics that minimize systemic exposure and focus treatment on the site of pain.
Similarly, DJO LLC has introduced Cryotherapy and Thermotherapy Devices that use controlled cooling and heating mechanisms to alleviate pain through temperature regulation.
AstraZeneca and Endo Health Solution have also been investing in the research and development of Cannabinoid-Based Therapies, targeting endocannabinoid receptors to provide pain relief without the psychoactive effects commonly associated with cannabinoids.
This approach is gaining popularity, particularly in regions like Europe and APAC, where regulations are evolving to accommodate alternative therapies for pain management.
