Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

* Accessing the efficacy and safety of pregabalin when used alone and in combo with acetaminophen in a dental pain model.
* To test whether pre-operative dose of pregabalin increases the time to significant post-operative pain (NRS ≥ 5), and hence time to first analgesia consumed post-operatively.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a 5 arm randomized, double-blind, parallel group, single-center, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pregabalin-acetaminophen combination in the prevention and treatment of post-surgical dental pain in healthy patients.

Subjects in every treatment arm will receive a dose 60 min prior to surgery. It is not required to receive a post-operative dose if patient does not feel pain at a scale of NRS≥ 5. Dose 2 will be given post-surgically when patients report at least moderate pain on the categorical scale and a score of ≥5 on 0-10 PI-NRS. Subsequent to dose 2, patients can request rescue analgesic at any time.
