Summary
Pregabalin is claimed to have superior analgesic effect at lower doses and better
pharmacological profile as compared to gabapentin esp. in perioperative pain control after
major surgeries like intervertebral disc surgery.
The investigators found that pregabalin is equivalent to gabapentin for relief of
post-operative pain at a lower dose in patients undergoing intervertebral disc surgery.
