Stroke Management Market is gaining significant traction with MedRhythms collaborating with EVERSANA to launch its software-based medical device MR-01 to treat chronic stroke walking impairments

Stroke is a medical emergency that presents itself with a sudden weakness or paralysis of the major tissue areas of the brain. This may result from an artery blockage, a ruptured cyst, or a primary blood clot inside the brain. When it comes to regional impact, North America seems to be gaining significant traction in the Stroke Management Market. This is due to growing cases of stroke and the presence of robust healthcare infrastructure across the region. On the contrary, Asia Pacific is exhibiting a positive outlook due to growing geriatric population in the region. Recently, in May 2021, MedRhythms collaborated with EVERSANA to launch its software-based medical device MR-01 to treat chronic stroke walking impairments.

Acute stroke refers to immediate symptoms that appear suddenly, often after something seemingly innocuous has happened to the patient. These may include loss of consciousness, difficulty swallowing, and dizziness. Some patients may have seizures or lapses of consciousness. Some patients may be able to swallow normally but have a loss of memory, or are unable to speak or walk. Growing cases of cardiovascular diseases have become the major cause of the high demand for stroke management. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 17.9 million people die of cardiovascular diseases every year. As per the American Heart Association (AMA), in 2016, cardiovascular disease accounted for 17.6 million deaths across the globe. According to the same source, that number is expected to reach 23.6 million by 2030. Thus, such factors can boost growth of the Stroke Management Market in the near future.

The treatment that a physician can provide for a patient who has suffered a stroke depends on the nature of the injury. A major obstacle in treating many strokes is that the victim may not be able to move. Doctors often rely on artificial limbs and paraphernalia such as wheelchairs to help the patient get around. A person may also need physical therapy to improve strength and flexibility. Technological advancements in the management of heart-related diseases have led to increase in the adoption of stroke management. Latest technologies such as cone beam imaging, Cenovus aneurysm device, cerebrotech stroke detecting visor, and victim nerve stimulation treatment are proving to be effective in the treatment of stroke management. Hence, such factors can stimulate growth of the Stroke Management Market.

Stroke rehabilitation centers aim to improve the functional abilities of patients with mild to severe strokes through a variety of rehabilitation strategies. These may include diet control, speech therapy, nutritional supplements, and exercise programs. Regardless of the advantageous factors, certain aspects of this market will pose significant challenges. For instance, high cost of procedures could limit the adoption of stroke management. Besides, the stringent regulatory framework for product approval could further impede growth of the stroke management market in the near future.
