The vagus nerve stimulators market faces several challenges. Existing therapies have shown modest effectiveness and many patients do not achieve remission from symptoms. Research into new stimuli parameters and devices has proven difficult due to the complexity of the nervous system and limited understanding of vagus nerve's projection areas in the brain. The cost of devices and required surgical implantation also limits growth potential. Regulatory pathways for approval remain rigorous as these devices carry risks if not used as directed.
Market Opportunities: Rise in research and development activities
