Global Fibromyalgia Drugs Market 2015-2019

About Fibromyalgia 
According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, fibromyalgia is a syndrome with an unknown cause and chronic pain and muscle tenderness as the major symptoms. Unlike arthritis, it does not cause joint, muscle or other tissue inflammation. However, fibromyalgia is known to cause impairment of joints, soft tissues, and causes significant pain and fatigue. Fibromyalgia affects women more than men. In the US, the condition affects more than 5 million people aged 18 years and above, of which 80-90% are women. There is no particular diagnostic test for detecting fibromyalgia, and physicians undertake differential diagnosis to check the presence of the syndrome. Currently in the US, only three drugs are approved to treat fibromyalgia. Off-label treatment is a popular option to treat fibromyalgia using analgesics, antidepressants, sedatives, neuroleptics, and muscle relaxants.

Technavio's analysts forecast the global fibromyalgia drugs market to grow at a CAGR of 0.79% over the period 2014-2019.
