Comparing gabapentin and pregabalin for nerve pain effects on inflammation and heart
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how two nerve pain medications, gabapentin and pregabalin, affect inflammation and heart function. It may help understand if these drugs offer benefits for people with nerve pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a nerve pain medication (pregabalin) helps people with long-term nerve pain sleep better. It involves brain scans to see how the medication affects the brain.
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 if adding tizanidine to pregabalin works better than pregabalin alone for fibromyalgia pain. It may help people who have daily moderate to severe pain.
This study looks at how people with long-term nerve pain in their feet respond to pain relief. It aims to match the right treatment to each person based on their pain sensitivity.
This trial is testing two medications, pregabalin and crisugabalin, to see how safe and effective they are for people with fibromyalgia who have not yet tried prescription treatments. You may qualify if your pain is moderate to severe and nondrug approaches haven't helped enough.
