Pregabalin for shoulder pain after rotator cuff repair
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether the nerve pain medicine pregabalin can reduce shoulder pain after rotator cuff surgery in people who also have a sensitive nervous system (central sensitization). It may help if you still have muscle pain after your surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 70 years old.
- You have had keyhole surgery to fix a torn rotator cuff (a group of muscles and tendons in your shoulder).
- You have been diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome (muscle pain with trigger points).
- You have central sensitization (a condition where your nervous system is overly sensitive to pain, measured by a score of 40 or higher on a special questionnaire).
- You have not taken pregabalin before, and you do not have uncontrolled high blood pressure, liver or kidney problems, or serious heart disease.

This trial tests if learning about pain before and after rotator cuff repair helps people recover better. It might help you if you have a medium-sized tear and are planning surgery.
This trial tests an extended-release version of pregabalin (a pain medication) for people with long-term nerve pain caused by diabetes or shingles. It aims to see if this once-daily pill can reduce pain with fewer side effects.
This study tests if taking Pregabalin early after a spinal cord injury can prevent pain from developing. It's a drug that may help calm nerve signals.
This trial tests a nerve stimulation device to reduce pain after shoulder surgery. It may help people manage post-surgical discomfort without relying on strong painkillers.
This study looks at how your body's pain processing before surgery might affect your recovery after rotator cuff repair. If you are having arthroscopic surgery for a torn rotator cuff, researchers want to see if a certain type of pain sensitivity (called central sensitization) is linked to your outcomes three months later.
This trial tests a mix of pain medicines (multimodal regimen) to see if it reduces the need for strong narcotics after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. If you have a torn rotator cuff that hasn't healed with other treatments and you are scheduled for surgery, you may be able to join.
