Chronic Low Back Pain – Unmet Need – Detailed, Expanded Analysis – Chronic Low Back Pain (US/EU)
Chronic low back pain (CLBP), defined as continuous low back pain lasting for at least three months, is one of the largest segments of the chronic pain therapy market. Prescription treatment options include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioid-based analgesics, antiepileptic drugs, and cytokine inhibitors. Although prescription drug-treatment rates in this population are relatively high, opportunity exists for more-potent-yet-safe therapies. This content provides quantitative insight into U.S. and European primary care physicians’ perceptions of key treatment drivers and goals in the management of CLBP, the existing level of unmet need in this indication, and remaining commercial opportunities in this area.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
- What are the treatment drivers and goals for CLBP?
- What drug attributes are key influencers: which have limited impact, and which are hidden opportunities?
- How do current therapies perform on key treatment drivers and goals for CLBP?
- What are the prevailing areas of unmet need and opportunity in CLBP?
- What trade-offs across different clinical attributes and price are acceptable to U.S. and European PCPs / GPs for a hypothetical new CLBP drug?
