Osteoarthritic Pain | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2024
In the United States, osteoarthritic pain affects about 32 million people; an aging population and the increasing prevalence of obesity are predicted to fuel additional growth. Several treatment classes may be prescribed to reduce the pain and/or increase patients’ mobility, such as intra-articular agents, antidepressants, NSAIDs, and antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). However, widely applicable and well-tolerated alternatives are needed. In this crowded and largely generic market, a detailed understanding of treatment patterns is essential for the successful introduction of a novel analgesic.
