conclusions pregabalin administered as premedication provided significant postoperative pain relief and decreased the requirement of other parenteral analgesics. pregabalin doses of 150 mg had a better analgesic profile, but the advantages of their use may be limited by side effects such as dizziness. thus, it is concluded that pregabalin doses of 75 mg may be the optimal pre-emptive dose. back...

BACKGROUND Gabapentinoids have been used as preemptive analgesics for pain management following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Recently, multimodal analgesic techniques have been found superior to preemptive analgesia alone. AIM The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare a single preoperative dose of pregabalin 150 mg and gabapentin 300 mg for pain relief following laparoscopic cholecyst...

previous studies have suggested that ketamine, an n-methyl-d-aspartate (nmda) receptor antagonist, provides a pre-emptive analgesic effect and pre-emptive analgesia improves postoperative pain management. the aim of this study was to determine the effict of pre-incisional vs. post-incisional intravenous low dose of racemic ketamine in postoperative pain in children undergoing inguinal hernia re...

conclusions intra-articular levobupivacaine-tenoxicam-morphine combination provides effective pain relief, longer analgesic duration, and less analgesic requirement when compared with intra-articular levobupivacaine-tenoxicam-tramadol combination and saline after knee arthroscopic surgery. results vasr and vasa were significantly higher in group s in comparison to other groups (p < 0.05). durat...
