Measure
Pregabalin
Participants initiated to take the study drug at a dose of 75 mg in the evening of Day 1, and then 150 mg/day (75 mg BID) for 1 week from Day 2. Thereafter, participants continued the treatment with pregabalin for 52 weeks, with the maximum doses of 300 mg/day (150 mg BID) for participants with low CLcr (30 \< CLcr ≤ 60 mL/min) and 600 mg/day (300 mg BID) for participants with normal CLcr (CLcr \> 60 mL/min). In consideration of safety and the effect on pain, the doses were adjusted by one step (150 mg/day) at each visit. Participants treated with pregabalin at the doses of 300 mg/day or higher ended the treatment after a 1-week dose reduction period.
