Global sciatica treatment market: Development of clonidine micropellet epidural injections

Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly focusing on developing micropellet technology-based non-steroidal epidural injections for the treatment of patients with sciatica. This is mainly because no epidural steroids are approved for the treatment of sciatica. The micropellet technology-based epidural injection helps in reducing the pain and inflammation by allowing localized delivery of medication to the affected nerves. Moreover, the safety and efficacy of clonidine are expected to be better with this novel technology. The medications developed with micropellet technology will enter the market during the forecast period and add significant value to its growth.

“Sciatica can cause long-term pain in the lower back if the condition is left untreated. Many government and non-governmental organizations are initiating certain programs to increase awareness among people about the condition and avoid delay in diagnosis. Such increasing awareness programs help patients to know about the disease and available safe treatment options, which will drive market growth during the forecast period,” says a senior research analyst at Technavio.
