Global Electrical Stimulation Devices Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global electrical stimulation devices market

Factors such as road traffic accidents (RTAs), falls, sporting accidents, and acts of violence in various parts of the world is driving the incidence of spinal injuries. This will be a major factor in boosting the sales of electrical stimulation devices (ESD). Spinal injuries cause enormous pain in the muscle due to the temporary or permanent loss of sensation of the autonomic nervous system and muscle function. Physicians recommend surgery in adverse conditions, which can cause unbearable postoperative pain. ESD is used for both pre-operative and post-operative conditions for effective pain management. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of close to 6% by 2021.
