Pediatric Neurology
According to a report published by UMKC School of Medicine, about 2.7 million people in the U.S. have epilepsy and more than 45,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. Epilepsy is more common than multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and Parkinson’s disease combined. Rising incidence and prevalence of neurological disorders in pediatric patient pool explains the need for treatment of neurological disorders in the region, and thereby increases the market potential for neurology drugs. Therefore, rising incidence of neurological disorders is a major factor driving the global pediatric neurology market.
