Randomized Controlled Trial
Pregabalin in the treatment of post-traumatic peripheral neuropathic pain: a randomized double-blind trial.
Pregabalin is effective in the treatment of peripheral and central neuropathic pain. This study evaluated pregabalin in the treatment of post-traumatic peripheral neuropathic pain (including post-surgical). ⋯ Flexible-dose pregabalin 150-600 mg/day was effective in relieving neuropathic pain, improving disturbed sleep, improving overall patient status, and was generally well tolerated in patients with post-traumatic peripheral neuropathic pain.
