Scientific title | Pregabalin as co-adjuvant analgesic for pain management after cosmetic liposuction: a randomised, double-blind and placebo-controlled clinical trial of effectiveness |
Study objectives | Null hypothesis: Adding pregabalin to a conventional analgesic scheme does not decrease the pain intensity with movement, analgesic request, opioid-related side effects (nausea, vomiting, somnolence) or time elapsed for returning to regular activities in patients undergoing cosmetic liposuction. Alternate hypothesis: Adding pregabalin to a conventional analgesic scheme decreases the pain intensity with movement, analgesic request, opioid-related side effects (nausea, vomiting, somnolence), or time elapsed for returning to regular activities in patients undergoing cosmetic liposuction. |
Ethics approval(s) | Bioethics Committee of the IPS Universitaria (Universidad de Antioquia) (Comité de Bioética de la IPS Universitaria) (Universidad de Antioquia) approved on the 6th March 2006 |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Post-operative pain |
Intervention | Interventional arm: Blinded capsules of pregabalin 75 mg. The patients started to take the medication the night before the surgery and continued the prescription twice daily (BID) up to the fourth day after surgery. They also had access to a prescription by the surgeon that included a weak opioid + acetaminophen and ibuprofen 200 mg as the circumstances arises (prn) Control arm: Blinded capsules of placebo (physically identical to pregabalin capsules). The patients started to take the placebos the night before the surgery and continued the prescription BID up to the fourth day after surgery. They also had access to a prescription by the surgeon that included a weak opioid + acetaminophen and ibuprofen 200 mg prn. |
