Market Insights and Analyst View:

The sialorrhea refers to excessive saliva production. When individuals have extensive posterior saliva leakage down their tracheas instead of being routinely swallowed, it is known as posterior sialorrhea. Patients affected by anterior sialorrhea experience excessive anterior or forward salivation, also known as drooling, onto their faces and clothing, which makes it difficult for them to maintain hygiene, take care of their skin, and interact with others. Aspiration, a long-term lung irritation caused by this, can occasionally lead to pneumonia.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

Patients suffering from neurological illnesses have a higher chance of developing chronic sialorrhea. Sialorrhea is typically treated with symptoms resulting from long-term neurological disorders, which adds to the overall load on patients. Physical and psychological burdens of patients can negatively affect their quality of life. People who suffer from neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, stroke, or ALS are primarily affected by chronic sialorrhea. These disorders impair the muscular coordination necessary for swallowing and saliva management. Damage or degeneration of the nerves is a result of ALS or Parkinson's disease. The brain, salivary glands, and swallowing muscles are main signal transducers for these nerves. Signal disruption, poor swallowing, and salivary gland coordination result from the damage. According to a article published by the Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, in 2019, ~40% of children affected by cerebral palsy and 80% of adults suffering from Parkinson’s disease were having sialorrhea. The abovementioned factors drive the sialorrhea treatments market growth.

Adverse effects of pharmacologic therapy are irritation, restlessness, sedation, and delirium from the central effects of the drugs. Inhibition of gastrointestinal (GI) motility has resulted in worsening constipation in a population already plagued with such difficulties. Photophobia, urinary retention, and facial flushing are other side effects of the medications.
