Surging Chronic Pain Incidence Bolster Middle East & Africa Opioids Market

Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, musculoskeletal diseases, and neurovascular diseases critically affect a person's health by lowering immunity. Moreover, many patients suffering from these conditions experiences chronic pain. The diseases mentioned above are most common in adults and the geriatric population. Nevertheless, cases of these diseases are noticeably growing among children as well. Chronic pain is also common among sportspersons, athletes, and individuals living with past injuries. According to a study published in the NCBI (i.e., National Center for Biotechnology Information), 20% of adults suffer from pain worldwide, and 10% are newly diagnosed with chronic pain per year. While pain affects all populations, regardless of sex, race/ethnicity, income, age, or geography, it is not distributed equally across the world. Prescription opioids, including hydrocodone, oxycodone, and morphine, are potent pain-reducing medications that are used to treat pain caused by injuries, surgeries, and health conditions such as cancer and arthritis.

According to the Congressional Research Service, Americans may get more opioids at the expense of more comprehensive pain therapies. Increased opioid prescribing practices can be attributed to the insurance reimbursement programs that incentivize opioids over alternative pain treatments, cost structures that encourage more efficient care, and evaluations that combine patient satisfaction with effective pain management. Therefore, owing to the advantage of opioids in pain management, the demand is rising among patients with chronic diseases.
