Testing pregabalin before surgery versus fentanyl during surgery

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.
