Study Period: 2019–2032
Chronic Pain Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage. It may be due to an injury or the brain’s inability to process pain signals properly. Chronic pain can range from mild to severe and is present for long periods (>3 months) and is often the result of a disease that may require ongoing treatment. The most common sources of chronic pain include low back pain, musculoskeletal pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, neuralgia, cancer pain, visceral, and postoperative pain. With many chronic conditions, the cause of the pain is unknown.
Chronic Pain Diagnosis and Treatment
It covers the details of conventional and current medical therapies and diagnoses available in the chronic pain market to treat the condition. It also provides country-wise treatment guidelines and algorithms across the United States, Europe, and Japan.
DelveInsight’s chronic pain market report thoroughly understands chronic pain symptoms by including disease definition, symptoms, causes, physiology, and diagnosis. It also provides chronic pain treatment algorithms and treatment guidelines for chronic pain symptoms in the US, Europe, and Japan.
There are several categories of medications that are used for the treatment of chronic pain. Oral medications include those that can be taken by mouth, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, acetaminophen, opioids, opioid-like agents, or combinations of opioids and non-narcotic analgesics, corticosteroids, antirheumatics/immunological agents, and anticonvulsants. Opioids are most useful and usually reserved for chronic pain cases when other pain relievers are ineffective and when the negative side effects are manageable. Many chronic pain patients may benefit from taking antidepressant drugs. Types of antidepressants prescribed include tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and others.
A few major unmet needs in the market include maintaining a balance between pain relief and side effects, lack of standardized tools to assess functional impairment, gaps in proper diagnosis and understanding, challenging diagnosis, absence of pain biomarkers, misperception and limited knowledge and lack of individualized treatment

Chronic Pain Emerging Drugs
Atogepant: Allergan/AbbVie
Atogepant is an orally administered, small-molecule Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist (Gepant) developed explicitly for the preventive treatment of migraine. CGRP and its receptors are expressed in regions of the nervous system associated with migraine pathophysiology.
A Pivotal Phase III study evaluating atogepant in adult patients with chronic migraine was completed and met its primary endpoint. In June 2022, AbbVie submitted a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for atogepant (QULIPTA) to FDA to support the preventive treatment of chronic migraine in adults.
ZILOSUL (pentosan polysulfate sodium): Paradigm Biopharmaceuticals Ltd.
Pentosan polysulfate sodium (PPS) is a semi-synthetic drug manufactured from the wood chips of European beech trees. Key features of PPS activity are its anti-inflammatory and tissue regenerative properties and its mild anti-thrombotic activity.
In May 2022, Paradigm reported that the first subjects have been randomized and dosed in the US in the PARA_OA_002 pivotal Phase III clinical trial, evaluating injectable PPS/ZILOSUL for the treatment of pain associated with knee osteoarthritis (kOA).
In April 2022, Paradigm Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. announced that the FDA had granted Fast Track Designation for the company's Phase III program investigating PPS for the treatment of osteoarthritis.
