Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Analgesic and Anxiety Efficacy of Preemptive Pregabalin

Start date: December 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Effective postoperative pain control after arthroscopic shoulder surgery optimizes postoperative rehabilitation, reduces anxiety, and can increase patient satisfaction and postoperative healing by providing amnesia and sedation. Few literature is available for postoperative pain management, including intra-articular local anesthetic infiltration, regional nerve blocks, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with intravenous opioid, and oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and gabapentinoid drugs. Recently, gabapentinoides such as pregabalin have also shown to have potential in the treatment of acute postoperative pain as part of multimodal analgesia, due to their possible opioid consumption-reducing effects and prevention of post-surgical chronic pain. Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant drug that reduces calcium entry into the nerve terminals of the central nerve and also reduces levels of substance P, glutamate and noradrenaline, all of which play a major role in creating a feeling of pain. It is well known that pregabalin reduces central sensitization and hyperalgesia after tissue injury by inhibiting calcium influx in voltage-gated calcium channels. These theoretical advantages have led to clinical trials to confirm the analgesic effectiveness of oral pregabalin for postoperative pain management in various surgical procedures.
