NCT06187922

Brief Summary

This interventional randomized control trial aim to determine efficacy and safety of Oral pregabalin in improving after surgery pain control in patients undergoing total knee replacement surgeries under regional anesthesia. We'll compare the efficacy of pregabalin between two groups, pregabalin group and control group on the basis of their opioid consumption after knee operation.

Model Details: The patients will be randomly assigned into two equal groups; Group P: Pregablain group and Group C: control group. Group P will receive oral capsule pregabalin 75mg one hour preoperatively and will continue as B.D for 72 hrs, Group C will not receive any premedication preoperatively. Intraoperatively both groups will receive inj. Midazolam 2 mg before subarachnoid block with hyperbaric Bupivacaine 0.5% 2.5-3ml and fentanyl 15mcg in the operation theatre (OT). Both groups will also receive parecoxib 40mg IV and paracetamol 1G Intravenous (IV) as part of multimodal analgesia. Both groups will receive dexamethasone 8mg IV prophylactically. Postoperatively both groups will receive adductor canal block with bupivacaine and dexmedetomidine.
