According to the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), approximately 40 million adults (17.6%) people experience severe levels of pain in the United States. The treatment for acute pain includes drugs and therapies. Common drugs include anti-seizure drugs, shots, muscle relaxers, and opioids. Several clinical trials are developing acute pain therapeutics including analgesics. The FDA has recently granted VX-548 Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain.

Report Coverage

The Acute Pain Drug Pipeline Report by the publisher gives comprehensive insights into acute pain drugs currently undergoing clinical trials. It covers various aspects related to the details of each of these drugs under development for acute pain. The acute pain pipeline insight includes the analysis of over 100 pipeline drugs and 50+ companies. It will include an analysis based on efficacy and safety measure outcomes published for the trials including their adverse effects on patients suffering from acute pain.

The detailed analysis of each drug, drug class, clinical studies, phase type, drug type, route of administration and ongoing acute pain pipeline development activities are covered in the report.

Acute Pain Drug Pipeline Outlook

Acute pain comes on suddenly and is caused by something specific usually and it is sharp in quality. This pain usually doesn’t last longer than a period of six months. It may be related to soft-tissue injury also or sometimes a temporary illness. The pain from an injury develops into chronic pain if the injury doesn’t heal correctly. The causes of acute pain include surgery, broken bones, burns or cuts, labor, and childbirth among others. The symptoms of acute pain include burning, numbness, tingling, and weakness among others.

Acute pain therapeutic drugs include medications, massage therapy, physical therapy, and topical treatments among others. The medications include anti-seizure drugs, shots, muscle relaxers, and opioids. Anti-seizure drugs relieve numbness and tingling (if there is nerve damage). Sometimes doctors prescribe injecting a corticosteroid medicine in the injured areas to reduce inflammation. Muscle relaxers help loosen tight muscles and opioids are prescribed drugs to relieve severe acute pain. Several pharma companies and research institutes are developing acute pain emerging drugs to manage acute pain. For instance, analgesic trials are investigated for acute pain in the context of traumatic injury or surgical procedures. The increasing clinical trials and changing dynamics are impacting the acute pain clinical trial landscape significantly.
