The West syndrome market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "West Syndrome Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". West syndrome, also known as infantile spasms, refers to a rare type of epilepsy that typically develops in infants under the age of one. The condition is characterized by a specific type of seizure called spasms, which are brief, involuntary muscle contractions that can cause the body to jerk or twitch. Infants suffering from this ailment may experience developmental delays, intellectual disability, and psychomotor retardation. Other common symptoms associated with West syndrome include crankiness, loss of appetite, changes in sleep patterns, regression, etc. The diagnosis of this disease is based on a review of the patient's medical history, clinical features, and neurological examination. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is also utilized among patients to detect patterns of electrical activity in the brain. The healthcare provider may further perform numerous diagnostic tests and procedures, including magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography scan, urinalysis, cerebrospinal fluid test, blood workup, etc., to confirm a diagnosis and rule out other possible causes for underlying indications.

The rising cases of metabolic disorders, which can lead to a deficiency in brain energy, resulting in uncontrolled electrical abnormalities and brain damage, are primarily driving the West syndrome market. In addition to this, the increasing prevalence of various associated risk factors, such as brain injury, genetic defect, infection, brain malfunction, etc., is also acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of effective medications, including adrenocorticotropic hormone, prednisone, vigabatrin, pyridoxine, etc., to treat epileptic spasms and provide symptom relief in infants suffering from West syndrome, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Besides this, the emerging popularity of vagus nerve stimulation therapy, which helps to reduce seizures, promote mental development, and improve the quality of life of the patients, is also bolstering the market growth. Moreover, the escalating demand for a diet involving high fat, low carbohydrate with an adequate amount of protein and nutrients to control spasms, stabilize EEG, and enhance development and cognition, is expected to drive the West syndrome market in the coming years.
