Testing pregabalin before surgery versus fentanyl during surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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 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.
This study tests if a combination of paracetamol and tramadol works as well as fentanyl for preventing pain after day surgeries. The goal is to help patients recover faster with fewer side effects.
This trial tests different ways to manage pain during hip surgery, comparing a femoral nerve block, a newer nerve block called PENG, and a pain medicine given before surgery. It aims to see which method gives the best pain relief.
This study tests two medicines, pregabalin and gabapentin, to see which works better for pain control before surgery in older adults. If you are 65 or older and having certain abdominal surgery with spinal anesthesia, this might help your recovery.
This trial tests whether pregabalin can help with pain control for people having laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery). It may help reduce the discomfort around surgery and improve the overall recovery experience.
This study compares a lower dose (82.5 mg) of pregabalin (a nerve pain medication) to a standard dose (165 mg) to see if it works just as well for pain after keyhole abdominal surgery. The goal is to reduce the need for stronger painkillers like opioids.
