In osteoarthritis knee pain (OKP) treatment, knee braces are used to reduce knee pain as these braces may apply compression (pressure) to soft tissues, stabilize the knee, and redistribute weight. A few examples of knee braces are compression sleeves, hinged knee braces, and unloader knee braces. Also, these compression braces are easily available at drugstores, pharmacies, and online channels. Therefore, availability of innovative therapy options reduces dependency on medications, which drives the osteoarthritis therapy market growth.
Additionally, the National Institute of Health (NIH) reports that in rural China, symptomatic knee O.A. is more prevalent (16.57%), and this incidence has increased significantly among the population aged 70 years and older (29.25% among women and 24.71% among men). Therefore, traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) have been accepted as a complementary therapy for knee O.A. For example, acupuncture and Tai Chi are non-surgical treatment options for knee O.A. Additionally, non-pharmacological treatment options to treat knee O.A. in China emphasize a multidisciplinary approach to reduce pain and disability among the Chinese population.
Non-pharmacological options include patient education, occupational and physical therapy, aerobic exercises, social support, and weight loss. Also, knee O.A. among the Chinese population is treated by pharmacological therapies such as simple and opioid analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including COX-2 selective inhibitors, and injectable agents such as glucocorticoids and hyaluronan preparations. Therefore, the rising prevalence of knee O.A. among the aging Chinese population accelerates demand for innovative therapy options, dominating the market growth during the 2022-2030.
