Current Challenges in Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Market
The Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Market Growth faces numerous challenges currently. There is lack of effective treatment options as the available treatment therapies only help manage the symptoms and do not cure the disease. Additionally, the exact cause and mechanisms behind different subtypes of CMT are still not fully understood which hinders the development of targeted therapies. Due to rarity of this disease, it does not receive sufficient attention and investment from pharmaceutical companies for research and development of new treatment drugs. Patients may also face difficulties in accessing specialized neurologists who can provide proper diagnosis and management of CMT. Another challenge is absence of disease-modifying drugs which can stop or slow the progression of nerve damage in CMT patients.
