Objective: To evaluate the pregabalins adjuvant effect in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) surgically treated, analyzing postoperative pain and the incidence of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
Methods: Outpatient surgical candidates with CTS were selected and followed for 12 months, divided into three groups. The Control Group received a placebo, the Pregabalin 75 mg Group received a daily dose, and the Pregabalin 150 mg Group received a daily dose of the medication.
Article Synopsis
- * Participants were divided into three groups: one received a placebo, another received 75mg of pregabalin daily, and the third received 150mg daily, with their pain and progress monitored over 12 months.
- * Results indicated that pregabalin did not significantly improve pain relief or reduce the incidence of CRPS in CTS surgical patients, suggesting it may not be a helpful addition to their treatment plan.
