Infantile spasms therapeutics refer to the treatment procedures used for treating seizures or an epilepsy syndrome in young children, usually aged between four months and a year of age. An episode of spasm is characterized by the body stiffening suddenly, arms, legs, and head bending forward, the back arching, and short, subtle seizures. Infantile spasm can be caused by brain tumors, birth injuries, infection of the brain, and genetic changes. There are a number of therapeutic options that are available for infantile spams, including steroids, hormone therapy with corticotropin injection gel and glucocorticoids, as well as antiseizure medications. Infantile spasms therapeutics are more likely to provide sustained results if they are implemented within three weeks after the spasms occur, and treatment can be done by monotherapy or combination therapy. Infantile spasms are diagnosed by physical examination, neurological examination, MRI of the brain, and blood and urine examinations.
Infantile Spasms Therapeutics Market Trends:
The increasing prevalence of infantile spasms among newborn babies is a significant factor driving the growth of the market. This can be attributed to a considerable rise in the birth rates across the globe. In line with this, the growing number of product approvals and presence of strong pipelines drugs are impacting the market positively. Continual technological advancements in the treatment of infantile spasms, such as the introduction of seizure alert device for detecting seizures and alerting the caregivers, are providing an impetus to the market. Also, the widespread awareness regarding early diagnosis and treatment is enhancing the penetration rate of infantile spasm drugs, thereby fueling the market growth. However, various factors, such as lesser treatment success rates, high cost of treatment, strict regulations for drug approval, and the augmenting undiagnosed patient pool, are impeding the growth of the infantile spasms therapeutics market. On the contrary, favorable initiatives and programs conducted by the government and private organizations of several countries for promoting awareness regarding the medical condition is creating a positive market outlook. The market is further driven by the extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by the key market players focusing on the development of innovative drugs with higher success rates. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include the expanding healthcare expenditure, rising number of collaborations, partnerships and merger and acquisitions (M&As), rapid urbanization, and inflating disposable income levels.
