Lamotrigine vs pregabalin for pain after breast cancer surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two oral pain medicines, lamotrigine and pregabalin, to see which one better controls pain during and after breast cancer surgery. If you are having this surgery, the study may help find a more effective way to manage your pain.

This trial tests if adding amantadine or duloxetine to the standard drug pregabalin can better prevent chronic pain after a mastectomy. It may help you if you're undergoing a modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer.
This study tests whether a lower dose of a pain medicine called pregabalin works as well as the standard dose for controlling pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. The goal is to see if it can reduce pain and the need for stronger painkillers after your operation.
This trial compares two medicines used around the time of surgery—pregabalin given by mouth before surgery versus fentanyl given during surgery—to see which better controls pain after the operation. You might join if you’re a generally healthy surgical patient and aren’t using certain related medicines.
This study tests whether adding tramadol to a standard numbing medicine (ropivacaine) makes pain control better after breast cancer surgery. If you're having a mastectomy, this could help reduce pain and improve recovery.
This trial tests if gabapentin improves recovery after mastectomy. It studies how giving the drug before surgery affects pain and healing.
This trial compares two medications—melatonin and pregabalin—to see which works better at reducing pain and anxiety after spine surgery. It aims to find a safer, effective option for recovery.
