Increasing prevalence of Parkinson's disease driving the growth of the Freezing Of Gait Treatment Market. The growing geriatric population worldwide is the biggest driver of the Freezing Of Gait Treatment Market. The Global Freezing Of Gait Treatment Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Freezing Of Gait Treatment Market Definition

Freezing of gait (FOG) is frequently regarded as one of the dopamine-resistant motor symptoms of Parkinsonism. Parkinson's disease is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, impacting about 1% of adults over 60 years of age. In persons above the age of 85, the incidence rises from 3% to 5%. Bradykinesia, resting tremor, rigidity, and lack of postural reflexes are the most common symptoms. As the disease progresses, most people with PD lose their postural reflexes, leading to walking difficulties and balance problems.

Stooped posture, freezing of gait (FOG) festination, shuffling steps, and falling are all common PD gait disorders. FOG, defined as an onset of inability to start effective steps without a known cause, is most particularly experienced during step initiation and turning, especially facing obstacles, doorways, stress, and distraction. Treatment with levodopa (L-dopa) or entacapone has been shown to improve Off-related FOG in recent studies. L-dopa has been shown to reduce the duration and frequency of FOG episodes. On-related FOGs are uncommon and difficult to diagnose. FOGs, like many other symptoms, are only resistant to treatment at the most advanced stages of the disease.

To date, Levodopa is the gold standard for Parkinson's disease treatment. Levodopa can considerably improve the symptoms of movement. High-dose levodopa can delay and reduce the occurrence of FOG when compared to placebo or low-dose levodopa. Levodopa can significantly decrease the number of episodes of akinesia and FOG. Levodopa can also reduce the frequency and duration of 'off'-related FOG. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been shown to improve FOG and reduce falls in FOG.

Global Freezing Of Gait Treatment Market Overview

Increasing prevalence of Parkinson's disease driving the growth of the Freezing Of Gait Treatment Market. Freezing of gait is a common symptom of Parkinson's syndrome and several other forms of parkinsonism. Freezing is a major burden for both patients and families since it often leads to falls, injuries from falls, and a loss of independence. Treatment of gait freezing is difficult due to a variety of factors, including its paroxysmal and changeable nature; comprehensive pathophysiology encompassing an interplay among motor (disturbed stepping mechanisms) and non-motor (cognitive decline, anxiety); and a complex (and likely heterogeneous) fundamental neural substrate, which includes multiple failing neural connections. As the disease is correlated with Parkinson's disease, the market is expected to grow healthy.

The growing geriatric population worldwide is the biggest driver of the market. According to a study, around 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease every year, therefore the market in North America has a lot of potential. Furthermore, it has been discovered that men are more vulnerable to developing such diseases than women. The rise in the geriatric population is also benefitting the Freezing Of Gait Treatment Market, since older people are more likely to become ill and suffer a variety of chronic or fatal diseases, as well as disorders that cause them pain throughout their life, such as spinal or joint pain. However, some patients develop side effects after taking medications related to the freezing of gait which might restrain the Freezing Of Gait Treatment Market growth.
