Background : Literature established the role of pregabalin in the pain management. However, there are limited studies in attenuating postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LAC). So, we evaluate the analgesic effect of two different doses of Pregabalin for attenuation of post-operative pain in laparoscopic cholecystectomy Methodology : In this randomized prospective study, 120 patients were allocated into three groups of 40 each. Group A, B and C received Tab Vitamin, Tab Pregabalin 75 mg and 150 mg respectively 1 hour before the expected time of anesthesia. Postoperative efficacy among these three groups was compared with respect to increase in duration of analgesia, reduction in postoperative pain scores, total postoperative requirements of analgesics and side effects. Results: Pregabalin does not reduce pain intensity during 24-hr following LAC as compared to placebo. No difference in need for rescue analgesic, time for need of first rescue analgesic dose and amount of fentanyl and Diclofenac requirement in three groups was observed. No other side effect was reported in any of the groups at any post-operative interval. Conclusion: The findings in present study suggested that Pregabalin does not provide a better preemptive pain control than placebo in cases undergoing LAC.Downloads
