Patient Controlled Analgesia
Products, Markets, Players and
Outlook
|
Publication: Nov. 2011
Product Code: PCA477R
|
An increasing understanding of the physiology of pain
coupled with patient-friendly dosage forms and delivery
techniques is providing caregivers and prescribers with
improved tools for helping patient manage their own pain.
New and emerging pain delivery products that allow patients
to play an active role in the timing and dosing of their
pain medication - referred to as patient controlled
analgesia (PCA) - allow patients to balance pain relief and
medication side effects, and potentially improve
quality-of-life. Pain management philosophy is based on the
premise of treating pain early and aggressively. This is
based on research that pain is tightly correlated with
decreased quality of life, and increased incidence of
anxiety and depression. Further, pain causes the physiologic
release of destructive enzymes that can damage even healthy
tissue. The aging population – particularly in North America
and Western Europe, where the quality of medical care is
high and consumers enjoy a relatively high standard of
living – will create a growing market of mature and elderly
needing drug therapies and pain management for a variety of
maladies associated with the aging process. These factors
are attracting well-financed players and elevating alliance
activity in this sector. |
