Abstract

Postoperative pain is one of the main negative symptoms resulting from surgery and the use of new methods to control this symptom is of ever-increasing relevance. Opioid-sparing strategies, such as multimodal analgesia, are trends in this scenario. Pregabalin is a well-established treatment for neuropathic pain; however, it is still controversial in the surgical context for postoperative analgesia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pregabalin on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy.
