Epilepsy, also termed a seizure disorder, is a chronic disease of the brain. It is characterized by recurrent seizures, which are brief episodes of involuntary movement of a part of the body or the entire body. Seizures can alter sensations, behaviors, awareness, and muscle movements. Epilepsy may occur due to a genetic disorder or an acquired brain injury, such as trauma or stroke. According to data published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in February 2023, epilepsy accounts for a significant share of the worldwide disease burden, affecting nearly 50 million people across the world. Moreover, 4-10 persons per 1,000 individuals are estimated to have active epilepsy (i.e., with the need for treatment or continuing seizures). Nearly 5 million people are diagnosed with epilepsy every year. High-income countries are estimated to report epilepsy at a rate of 49 per 100,000 people annually. This number can reach as high as 139 per 100,000 individuals in low- and middle-income countries. An upsurge in epilepsy incidence can be attributed to the higher count of road traffic injuries and birth-related injuries, and the elevated risk of endemic conditions such as neurocysticercosis or malaria. The WHO also states that approximately 70% of individuals with epilepsy can become seizure-free with the use of medications. Treatments to control epilepsy include anti-epileptic medications, special diets (in addition to anti-seizure medications), and surgery; however, anti-epileptic drug therapy is the primary treatment prescribed for most patients. Thus, the rising prevalence of epilepsy worldwide drives market growth.
