Analyst Comment-

The Global Peripheral Nerve Stimulators market is experiencing a growth due to the increasing demand for Wireless Peripheral Nerve Stimulators. This preference for advanced, wireless solutions in neuromodulation is driving the market forward and indicating a transformative trend in healthcare. The surge in demand highlights the substantial growth trajectory of the market.

The Peripheral nerve stimulation frequently referred to as PNS, is a commonly used approach to treat chronic pain. The growth of the peripheral nerve stimulators market is attributed to the increasing demand for peripheral nerve stimulators, rise in cases of nerve injuries, and the growing demand for wireless peripheral nerve stimulators. However, the lack of technical skills for installation and control of a device, and the high cost associated with the peripheral nerve stimulators devices is anticipated to hamper the market growth.

Peripheral Nerve Stimulators Trends

• Increasing demand for peripheral nerve stimulators

The use of oral medications such as Pamelor, Sinequan, and Elavil in neurological disorder patients is associated with harmful side effects and may also lead to addiction to drugs. Therefore, the peripheral nerve stimulator is highly preferred as an alternative pain control option as it provides effective treatment over oral medications. It reduces the use of narcotic drugs and can be implanted in patients which allows them to perform their nonimpact recreational activities such as swimming. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke reports that around 50 million Americans are affected by approximately 600 neurologic disorders annually. Neuropathic pain is a prevalent health issue in most industrialized nations, impacting roughly 40%-60% of the elderly population and adults worldwide.

Moreover, peripheral nerve stimulators provide target-specific treatment in patients with refractory or chronic pain conditions such as regional pain syndrome, low back pain, neck pain, and painful nerve injuries.

Peripheral Nerve Stimulators Segment Insights

Peripheral Nerve Stimulators Product Insights

The Global Peripheral Nerve Stimulators segmentation, based on products, includes transcutaneous, percutaneous, and implantable. Transcutaneous peripheral nerve stimulators (TPNS) accounted for the largest market during the forecast period. The TPNS devices provide non-invasive therapeutics without any side effects. This is primarily used to treat arthritis, back and neck pain, fibromyalgia, muscle pain, and neuropathic pain. The increasing incidences of these above-mentioned diseases are increasing the demand for TPNS stimulators, driving the segment's growth.

Moreover, percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) segment growth is driving owing to the high demand for the treatment of neuropathic pain. As per the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER), there is approximately a 50% chance of having diabetic neuropathy in diabetic patients, thus, increasing diabetes prevalence may increase the demand of PNS

Therefore, the increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases and diabetic diseases that may lead to nerve damage, as well as favorable government support in approving implantable devices, are driving the product segment's growth.

Peripheral Nerve Stimulators Device Type Insights

The Global Peripheral Nerve Stimulators market segmentation, based on device type, includes   stimulators, continuous peripheral nerve blocks (CPNB) catheters, and pain pumps.  The pain pump segment held the largest market in 2022 and is also the fastest growing segment during the forecast period.  A pain pump is attached to the catheter and delivers medication to a specific point. The pain pump is mostly used for multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy. The stimulators segment growth is due to the increasing contributions of market players such as Medtronic plc (Ireland), Boston Scientific Corporation (US), Abbott Laboratories, Inc. (US), NEVRO CORP. (US), and Nuvectra Corporation (US) in organic and inorganic strategic growth. The above-mentioned companies are top competitors in the peripheral nerve stimulator market.

Hence, the presence of heavily indulging market players associated with stimulator products, agreements for the availability of the product through distribution, and the increasing prevalence of neurological diseases are fueling the device type segment's growth.

Peripheral Nerve Stimulators Stimulating Feature Insights

The Global Peripheral Nerve Stimulators market has been segmented, based on stimulating into stimulator machines with train of four (TOF) monitoring features and machines without TOF features.

The stimulator machines with TOF monitoring features is the largest and fastest growing segment during the forecast period. The stimulator machines with TOF monitoring features are utilized to assess neuromuscular transmission while delivering a neuromuscular blocking agent. These are mostly used in intraoperative and postoperative procedures, including orthopedic surgery, to assess drug delivery. As per the Arthritis Society of Canada, there will be 6 million people with arthritis in Canada in 2020, which is 1 in 5 people.

Moreover, machines without TOF features include single-twitch and tetanic stimulators. The market players are launching products based on precision stimulation in order to fulfil the demand of their customers, especially physicians, to assist them during intraoperative procedures.

Thus, the wide range of applications of stimulator machines with TOF monitoring features, rising incidences of arthritis that may lead to surgery, and the launch of products based on machines without TOF features are bolstering the stimulating feature segment's growth.

Peripheral Nerve Stimulators End User Insights

The Global Peripheral Nerve Stimulators market has been segmented, based on hospitals & clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and others.

Hospitals & clinics accounted for the largest market share and fastest growing segment during the forecast period owing to the increasing prevalence of neurological diseases and government support through the Medicare plan for patients. For instance, transcutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (TPNS), percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), and implantable peripheral nerve stimulator devices for acute postoperative pain are covered under Medicare which is the primary factor supporting the segment growth. For instance, in US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Medicare covered devices include durable medical equipment, inpatient and outpatient hospital services including physician services for PNS therapy.

Moreover, ambulatory surgery center growth is attributed to the increasing number of surgical procedures and advanced technology-based products. Moreover, in several studies, it has been mentioned that stimulator machines with TOF monitoring features are most common and are mostly used in ambulatory surgical centers during intraoperative and postoperative periods. Furthermore, as per Eurostat, the major surgeries performed in Europe in 2020 were hysterectomies, appendectomies, and repairs of inguinal hernias, and peripheral nerve stimulators are used for intractable pain in these surgeries.

Therefore, medical coverage for hospitals, clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers for PNS therapy, rising surgical procedure numbers, and a growing geriatric population are driving the end-user segment's growth.
