Epilepsy Therapeutics Market: Overview

Epilepsy Therapeutics refers to chronic neurological disorder which causes constant and unfounded seizures. An individual suffering from Epilepsy Therapeutics tends to have seizures with no explanation. In Epilepsy Therapeutics, the brain activity becomes abnormal, resulting in recurrent seizures that are short episodes of involuntary movement, which may involve a part of the body or the entire body. The increase in the number of accidents and brain injuries and the high rate of post-traumatic Epilepsy Therapeutics (PTE) and post-traumatic seizure (PTS) occurrence in patients with brain injuries are the major factors driving the Epilepsy Therapeutics treatment market.

Furthermore, innovation of new treatment products with better efficiency is expected to further drive this market. Rising number of mergers and acquisitions, new product launches, and increasing number of collaborations and partnerships are some of the latest trends that have been observed in the global Epilepsy Therapeutics market. Besides development of new drugs and treatment options, approval and launch of new products extend profitable opportunities to the Epilepsy Therapeutics treatment market players in the forecast period.

In Addition, development of highly efficacious products, having less side-effects, and better outcomes are likely to propel the Epilepsy Therapeutics market Neurological disorders have become a matter of concern for medical researchers who are looking at optimizing medical treatments. Furthermore, the adoption of anti-epileptics due to increasing seizures and Epilepsy Therapeutics cases, and a rise in research and development is driving the growth of Epilepsy Therapeutics market. .However, factors such as lack of awareness about the condition some developing regions and reluctance to adopt Epilepsy Therapeutics medications in some regions are restraining the growth of the Epilepsy Therapeutics market over the upcoming years.

COVID-19 Impact:

The new coronavirus has spread worldwide in a relatively short period and has become a pandemic. Many affected patients have symptoms such as dry cough, tiredness, dyspnea, and fever. However, the infection with Covid-19 disrupts multiple tissues, including the kidney, liver, and nervous system. Common neurological symptoms of Covid-19 infection include delirium, depression, fever, and loss of smell and taste. It can cause stroke and epilepsy in rare cases. Furthermore, due to concerns about patient-to-patient transmission, standby admissions in hospitals with COVID-19 inpatients or in areas with widespread COVID-19 infection have been severely limited.

According to an article published in March 2020 titled "Epilepsy and COVID-19: Updated Evidence and Narrative Review," a survey of 212 pediatric neurologists from 49 countries found that in-person outpatient visits have decreased, and telemedicine use has increased during the pandemic. This has risen the demand for efficient epilepsy cures and medications.

 Moreover, the growing R&D investments towards COVID 19 treatments may also contribute towards the epilepsy market growth.
