Neurostimulation is a technique that involves using electrical impulses to stimulate specific nerves or regions in the body responsible for sending pain signals. Neurostimulation devices are primarily used for treating chronic pain, movement disorders, and other neurological diseases, such as neuropathic pain, failed back surgery syndrome, Parkinson’s movement symptoms, and epilepsy. These devices offer both invasive and noninvasive approaches to apply electrical stimulation. The different types of neurostimulation devices and treatments include spinal cord stimulation, deep brain stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, and peripheral nerve stimulation.
Several factors influence the market, including the rising prevalence of neuromuscular disorders & chronic pain and the rapidly expanding medical device sector. The growing research and development activities lead to the development of novel and innovative neurostimulation devices. This also facilitates the increasing number of clinical trials. Technological advancements improve the functionality of neurostimulation devices. Favorable government policies and regulatory frameworks support the development and launch of these devices, fostering market growth.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can transform neurostimulation devices through automation, enhancing efficiency. AI and machine learning (ML) algorithms can analyze vast amounts of patient data and offer personalized treatment. AI-driven devices can operate and respond accordingly based on patients’ behaviors and needs. They can deliver targeted therapy for pain relief in specific conditions. Integrating AI and ML into neurostimulation devices enables real-time data analysis, providing healthcare professionals with unprecedented insights into neural activities and patterns. AI can also restore lost sensory or motor functions, offering renewed independence to patients with disabilities.
Rising Prevalence of Chronic Pain
The rising prevalence of chronic pain among individuals increases the demand for neurostimulation devices. The growing geriatric population is a major reason for chronic pain. A recent study from the National Institute of Health reported that the incidence of chronic pain is around 52.4 new cases per 1,000 people annually in the U.S., a higher rate compared to other common health conditions, including diabetes, depression, and high blood pressure. According to a recent systematic review and meta-analysis study, the global prevalence of peripheral diabetic neuropathy was 46.7% as of June 2024. Chronic pain can impair an individual’s quality of life, leading to physical limitations, emotional distress, and social isolation.
Lack of Trained Professionals
The major challenge of the neurostimulation devices market is the lack of trained professionals. Numerous developing and undeveloped countries do not have sufficient skilled professionals to provide neurostimulation treatment. This potentiates the risk of using the incorrect settings or intensity levels, leading to muscle strain, discomfort, or potential injury.
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)
The future of the market is promising, driven by the development of the brain-computer interface (BCI). BCI is a device that enables a person to use their brain signals to control an external device. It captures and analyzes brain signals, then translates them into usable commands for an external device to put into action. It is used to restore movement and autonomy in patients with paralysis and disabilities. It also facilitates computer-augmented communication through the eye movement of patients who are unable to speak. BCI is also proven to treat neurological conditions, such as ALS, cerebral palsy, brainstem stroke, and spinal cord injuries. It can monitor mental health and enhance cognitive functioning in real time.
For instance,
By product, the spinal cord stimulator segment held a dominant presence in the market in 2024. A spinal cord stimulator consists of electrodes and a generator to send electrical impulses using an external control. The rising prevalence of spinal cord injury and post-surgical pain boosts the segment’s growth. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that globally, more than 15 million people are living with spinal cord injury. (Source - WHO)
The major causes of SCIs are trauma, including falls or road accidents. The growing demand for personalized treatment also augments the segment’s growth, as it allows personalized adjustments based on patients’ pain patterns.
By product, the sacral nerve stimulators segment is expected to expand rapidly in the market in the coming years. Sacral neuromodulation is a well-established, minimally invasive, safe, and effective advanced treatment for a number of bowel and lower urinary tract dysfunctions, including incontinence, urgency, frequency, and retention of urine and feces. Sacral neuromodulation specifically helps those who have not responded to conservative treatments. A neurostimulator is implanted to successfully modify neural circuits and restore bladder and bowel function by sending electrical impulses to the sacral nerves.
By application, the pain management segment led the global market in 2024. The rising prevalence of chronic pain and post-surgical pain promotes the segment’s growth. A recent prospective study published in the Surgery in Practice and Science journal studied 219 participants. Out of these, 180 (82.2%) had acute postoperative pain, and about 34.24% had moderate to severe pain. (Source - Science Direct)
By application, the epilepsy segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR in the market during the studied years. The increasing incidences of epilepsy propel the segment’s growth. The WHO reported that approximately 50 million people are affected by epilepsy globally. It also stated that an estimated 5 million people are diagnosed with epilepsy annually. Many people do not react to epilepsy drugs. Hence, neurostimulation devices are preferred for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, increasing the chances of care.
North America dominated the global market share by 60% in 2024. The presence of key players and the rising adoption of advanced technologies are the major growth factors of the market in North America. State-of-the-art research and development facilities lead to the development of novel devices with expanded applications. Favorable government support also promotes the use of neurostimulation devices in North America.
Key players, such as Boston Scientific and Nevro Corp, are the major contributors to the market in the U.S. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the approval of neurostimulation devices, and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) supports research related to neurological disorders. The FY 2025 President’s Budget of NINDS is approximately $2.833 billion. (Source - NIH)
It is estimated that around 8 million Canadians, or approximately 1 in 5 Canadians, suffer from chronic pain. The Canadian government formed the Canadian Pain Task Force (CPTF) to provide advice regarding evidence and best practices for preventing and managing chronic pain. Health Canada recently included the Dolphin Neurostim device in the “List of Medical Devices for Expanded Use”. (Source - Government of Canada)
Asia-Pacific is expected to host the fastest-growing neurostimulation devices market in the coming years. The rising prevalence of neurological disorders and chronic pain drives the market.
