Scientific titleEffect of pregabalin in acute post-operative pain and functional recovery for laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Study objectivesPregabalin provides superior post-operative pain control, lower analgesic consumption and better recovery profile compared with placebo.
Ethics approval(s)Approval received from the University Health Network Research Ethic Board, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on the 15th December 2006 (ref: UHN REB 05-0745-B).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPostoperative pain during laparoscopic cholecystectomy
