Clinical Trial Summary

This interventional randomized control trial aim to determine efficacy and safety of Oral pregabalin in improving after surgery pain control in patients undergoing total knee replacement surgeries under regional anesthesia. We'll compare the efficacy of pregabalin between two groups, pregabalin group and control group on the basis of their opioid consumption after knee operation.


Clinical Trial Description

After obtaining approval from the institutional ethical committee and informed written consent, 120 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be included in this study.

Postoperatively both groups will receive Ultrasound guided Adductor canal saphenous Nerve block in the PACU with 0.2% Bupivacaine 20-30ml & dexmeditomidine1.0mcg/kg. Group P will receive oral capsule pregabalin 75 mg Q12hourly from the 1st dose for next 60 hours. Group C will not receive any medication.
