Low-dose pregabalin for pain after abdominal keyhole surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
