How does Contura compare to TRB Chemedica in the UK MSK pain management market?

Contura sits second in the April 2026 ranking, named on 42.5% of brand-naming UK MSK provider websites, a 6 percentage point gap to TRB Chemedica. The full ranking and the manufacturer behind every brand are available in the registered analysis from Rare.Monitor.

What is brand mention rate and how is it measured?

Brand mention rate is the share of UK MSK providers (physiotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractic) that name a manufacturer's brand on their public-facing website. Rare.Monitor measures it by auditing 28,700 UK MSK provider sites and calculating, for each brand, the percentage of brand-naming sites whose websites name it.

Why are pharmacy and OTC pain brands not in this ranking?

This ranking covers pain management brands mentioned by UK MSK clinical providers (physiotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractic). Pharmacy and OTC analgesic brands sold via retail are a distinct category from clinician-recommended brands. Mixing the two would obscure how MSK clinicians and consumers treat them as different products.
