Trigeminal Neuralgia Represents an Attractive Orphan Opportunity in the Pain Field

LONDON, July 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Globe Life Sciences, a leading provider of commercial analysis within healthcare-related sectors, conducted a detailed market assessment of trigeminal neuralgia.  The Globe Extraordinary report, entitled 'Trigeminal Neuralgia - An Attractive Orphan Opportunity in the Pain Field', concludes that trigeminal neuralgia is an under-recognised indication, which possesses attractive commercial characteristics.

Historically, trigeminal neuralgia appears to have been discounted as a target indication, given its relatively small patient population combined with the entrenched position of carbamazepine as a highly effective front-line treatment.  In contrast to these perceptions, this assessment identified trigeminal neuralgia to possess a number of appealing commercial features, and represents an interesting entry point into the broader pain market.

This report provides an in-depth assessment of the trigeminal neuralgia market based on detailed desk research as well as insight from 10 opinion-leading clinicians in the US and Europe.  It assesses the gaps arising from the current management approaches, provides a view of the target product profile required for a novel pain therapy, scopes the peak sales potential, and identifies the key risks and commercialisation challenges.  Overall, the report uncovers the scale of the opportunity in trigeminal neuralgia and the potential risks in this field.
