NCT ID: NCT04495374

Last Updated: 2021-03-04

Results Overview

Postoperative pain assessment, 24 hours after abdominal hysterectomy surgery, in patients who used a single dose of pregabalin 300mg or placebo as preemptive analgesia, using the visual analog scale (VAS) consisting of a 10 cm (cm) line ) graduated in natural number intervals, starting at 0 (zero) until reaching 10 (ten), associated with the numbers, drawings related to the pain presented by the patient at the moment, in which the absence of pain (0 ) there is a happy face, and as the numerical value increases, the drawn face will represent the intensity of pain, up to the value of 10, where a face with crying characteristics is found, indicating greater pain.

Measure
Group P(0) - Placebo
Patients were randomly allocated to Group P(0) - Placebo by a double blind randomized study. Group P(0) received two placebo tablets as medication, 02h before the start of the anesthesic-surgical procedure in identical sealed envelops, only identified as medication A or B Placebo: Group P0 will receive a placebo tablet, 02h before the surgical procedure
Group P(1) - Pregabalin 300mg
Patients were randomly allocated to Group P(1) - Pregabalin 300mg by a double blind randomized study. Group P(1) received two tablets of pregabalin 150mg, 02h before the start of the anesthesic-surgical procedure in identical sealed envelops, only identified as medication A or B Pregabalin 300mg: Group P1 will receive a 300 mg tablet of pregabalin, 02h before the surgical procedure

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: End of the first postoperative day of abdominal hysterectomy surgery (24 hours after the end of surgery)

Postoperative pain assessment, 24 hours after abdominal hysterectomy surgery, in patients who used a single 300mg dose of pregabalin or placebo as preemptive analgesia, using the McGill pain questionnaire, which consists of 20 word groups , and each group can contain from 2 to 6 descriptive words, these descriptors are placed in an increasing order of magnitude in relation to the intensity. The left of each word has a numerical value in an attempt to represent the intensity of the descriptor. For the analysis of the answers, the total number of words chosen in each subgroup by the patient was used to qualify his pain, the minimum value being equal to 0 (zero), if the patient chose not to choose any descriptor, and the maximum value would be 20, as the patient can choose only one descriptor for each subgroup. The quantitative pain index was also evaluated, which represents the sum of the values of each descriptor chosen by the patient, with a minimum value of 0 and a maximum of 78.
