MarketNewsUpdates.com News Commentary 

According to a recent report issued by Transparency Market Research, the global neurology devices market is projected to hit a value of $13.6 billion in 2019, coupled with a very impressive growth rate. Neurological devices available in the market can be classified into interventional neurology devices, CSF management devices, neurosurgical devices, and neurostimulation devices. Among them, the neurostimulation devices are raking up maximum revenue owing to the increasing population of the elderly, particularly in the developed regions of the world. Patients are now looking for non-invasive devices, instead of seeking neurology drugs. The largest segment in the global neurology devices market currently is that of neurostimulation. Leading the way in neurostimulation therapy are devices that treats neurological symptoms caused by disease and trauma as well as platforms dealing in treating the pandemic of binocular vision dysfunction.

Allergan plc, (NYSE:AGN), a leading global pharmaceutical company, this month announced the release of new topline clinical trial data on Bimatoprost SR, the first-in-class sustained-release, biodegradable implant for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Bimatoprost SR is designed to lower IOP for at least 4 months, achieving clinical goals while freeing patients from daily eye drop regimens. In this first Phase 3 clinical study of 594 subjects with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, Bimatoprost SR reduced IOP by approximately 30 percent over the 12-week primary efficacy period, meeting the predefined criteria for non-inferiority to the study comparator, timolol. This initial data showed the potential for the majority of patients to remain treatment free for one year after the last implant was inserted. The magnitude of IOP lowering efficacy with Bimatoprost SR observed in this study is similar to that observed with daily topical prostaglandin analogues.
