The spinal cord injury market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Spinal Cord Injury Market Size, Epidemiology, In-Market Drugs Sales, Pipeline Therapies, and Regional Outlook 2025-2035". A spinal cord injury refers to damage or trauma to the spinal cord, which is a long, cylindrical bundle of nerves that extends from the base of the brain down the back. The symptoms of the ailment can vary depending on the level and severity of the injury but commonly include loss of sensation, muscle weakness or paralysis, altered reflexes, impaired coordination, changes in bowel and bladder function, sexual dysfunction, difficulty breathing, chronic pain, etc. In more severe cases, individuals suffering from the condition may experience complete paralysis below the injury site, while in milder instances, there may be partial loss of function or sensory deficits. The diagnosis typically begins with a thorough medical history review and a physical examination to assess neurological function, sensory responses, and motor strength. Numerous diagnostic imaging techniques, such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), etc., may be used to visualize the spinal cord and determine the extent and location of the injury. Furthermore, various additional tests, including electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies, somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP), etc., are also conducted to evaluate nerve function and assess the severity of the injury.
The increasing cases of traumatic injuries resulting from motor vehicle mishaps, falls, sports-related accidents, acts of violence, etc., that can fracture or dislocate the vertebrae are primarily driving the spinal cord injury market. In addition to this, the rising incidences of various associated risk factors, including surgical complications, certain medical conditions like spinal tumors and spinal abscesses, genetic disorders, such as hereditary spastic paraplegia, etc., are also creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the widespread adoption of neuroprotective agents, including methylprednisolone and minocycline, since they aid in reducing inflammation, promote cell survival, and minimize scar formation, is further bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, the rising utilization of advanced rehabilitation approaches, such as activity-based therapies, constraint-induced movement therapy, virtual reality-based training, etc., for enhancing motor recovery and promoting neural plasticity is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the emerging popularity of neural interface systems, including brain-computer interfaces and spinal cord stimulation, to bridge the damaged spinal cord circuitry in order to facilitate communication between the brain and limbs is expected to drive the spinal cord injury market during the forecast period.
IMARC Group's new report provides an exhaustive analysis of the spinal cord injury market in the United States, EU4 (Germany, Spain, Italy, and France), United Kingdom, and Japan. This includes treatment practices, in-market, and pipeline drugs, share of individual therapies, market performance across the seven major markets, market performance of key companies and their drugs, etc. The report also provides the current and future patient pool across the seven major markets. According to the report, the United States has the largest patient pool for spinal cord injury and also represents the largest market for its treatment. Furthermore, the current treatment practice/algorithm, market drivers, challenges, opportunities, reimbursement scenario, unmet medical needs, etc., have also been provided in the report. This report is a must-read for manufacturers, investors, business strategists, researchers, consultants, and all those who have any kind of stake or are planning to foray into the spinal cord injury market in any manner.
Stemirac (autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells) for spinal cord injury primarily works by modulating the immune response and promoting a regenerative environment through paracrine signaling. These stem cells don't directly replace damaged tissue but rather secrete factors that reduce inflammation, protect existing cells, and encourage nerve regeneration.
AXER-204, developed by ReNetX Bio, is a human fusion protein that acts as a decoy for myelin-associated inhibitors of axonal growth, primarily Nogo-A, MAG, and OMgp. These inhibitors normally prevent nerve fiber regeneration after spinal cord injury. By binding to these inhibitors, AXER-204 essentially removes their inhibitory effect, allowing nerve fibers to regrow and potentially promoting recovery of function.
MT-3921 is a humanized monoclonal antibody developed for spinal cord injury treatment. It works by targeting and binding to repulsive guidance molecule A (RGMa), a protein that inhibits neuronal survival and regeneration. By neutralizing RGMa, MT-3921 promotes neuroregeneration and improves locomotor function after spinal cord injury.
