Acute pain management & preemptive analgesia (3)DR SHADAB KAMAL
This document discusses acute pain management and pre-emptive analgesia. It defines acute pain as pain caused by actual or potential tissue damage that is usually nociceptive in nature. Acute pain management primarily deals with patients recovering from surgery or acute medical conditions. Pre-emptive analgesia aims to prevent central neural sensitization by administering analgesics before a painful stimulus occurs, which can reduce both acute postoperative pain and the risk of chronic postsurgical pain. The document outlines various treatment approaches for acute pain management, including opioids, non-opioid analgesics, regional anesthetic techniques, and multimodal analgesia.
Preventive analgesia:
Broader definition of preemptive analgesia
Perioperative analgesic regimen that able to control pain-induced sensitization
Not the timing of the analgesic treatment but the duration and efficacy of an analgesic intervention are more important for an effective postoperative pain relief
Adequate preventive analgesia should include multimodal techniques and with a sufficient duration of tretment
Postoperative pain is harmful and leads to both acute and chronic negative effects if poorly controlled. A multimodal approach to pain management is recommended, utilizing both pharmacological and non-pharmacological techniques. This includes the use of opioids, non-opioid analgesics like NSAIDs and gabapentinoids, and regional analgesic techniques such as epidurals, peripheral nerve blocks, and trigger point injections to provide superior pain relief with fewer side effects than systemic opioids alone. The goal is to control pain and facilitate early recovery after surgery.
This document discusses preemptive analgesia, which aims to prevent central sensitization and reduce postoperative pain by administering pain medication before surgery. It defines preemptive analgesia and terms used in related studies. The history and use of preemptive analgesia is reviewed, along with various treatment options like opioids, nonopioid analgesics, regional anesthetic techniques, peripheral nerve blocks, and cryoanalgesia. Risk factors for chronic postsurgical pain are listed. Postoperative pain management includes opioids, nonopioids like acetaminophen and NSAIDs, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, IV lidocaine, and alpha-2 agonists to improve analgesia and reduce side effects.
postoperative pain assessment and managementpropofol2012
This document provides an overview of acute postoperative pain assessment and management. It defines pain and discusses pain assessment tools and the pathophysiology of pain. It outlines the objectives of treating pain, barriers to effective pain management, and complications of unrelieved pain. Different analgesic drugs are described including opioids, paracetamol, NSAIDs, and NMDA receptor antagonists. Methods of drug administration and non-pharmacological pain management methods are also summarized. Assessment of pain in critical care settings is discussed.
Preemptive analgesia is an antinociceptive treatment that prevents the establishment of altered processing of afferent input which amplifies postoperative pain. It was first formulated by Crile who advocated regional blocks in addition to general anesthesia to prevent intraoperative nociception and formation of painful scars. There are three definitions of preemptive analgesia: treatment starting before surgery to prevent central sensitization caused by incisional injury; treatment preventing central sensitization caused by incisional and inflammatory injuries; and treatment covering the period of surgery and initial postoperative period. While some studies found no difference between preincisional and postincisional treatment, others reported modest benefits with preincisional analgesia.
This document discusses acute pain management and preemptive analgesia. It defines pain and outlines the physiological responses to pain, including effects on the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, neuroendocrine, musculoskeletal and central nervous systems. It discusses different types of acute pain and factors that influence perioperative pain. The principles and rationale of multimodal analgesia and preemptive analgesia are explained. Various analgesic drugs and techniques are described, including opioids, non-opioids, regional anesthesia techniques, patient-controlled analgesia, and their applications in acute pain management.
This document provides information on multimodal regiments for acute pain management. It discusses the goals of multimodal analgesia including reducing opioid use through additive or synergistic effects. Key points:
- Multimodal analgesia involves using two or more analgesics with different mechanisms to better treat multiple pain sources and reduce side effects.
- Postoperative pain involves peripheral and central sensitization, so multimodal regiments target both levels.
- Common regiments discussed include paracetamol, NSAIDs, COXIBs, ketamine, gabapentinoids, clonidine and opioids. Low dose ketamine and gabapentinoids are highlighted for their anti-hyperalgesic effects.

This document discusses multimodal perioperative pain management strategies and their potential to improve postoperative outcomes. It outlines an integrated approach involving pre, intra, and postoperative care using multiple analgesic techniques including regional anesthesia, acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and low-dose opioids to minimize side effects while providing effective pain relief. When combined with early rehabilitation and mobilization, improved pain control can enhance recovery and accelerate discharge from the hospital. The goal is a seamless multimodal strategy from the preoperative period through to recovery.
Postoperative pain management is an essential component of surgical patient care. About 75% of surgical patients experience pain after a procedure. Effective pain control allows for early mobilization, reduced complications, and faster recovery. Postoperative pain arises from tissue damage during surgery and the subsequent inflammatory response. Both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods can be used to treat postoperative pain, including opioids, NSAIDs, local anesthetics, and physical therapy. Proper assessment and an individualized treatment plan that utilizes a stepwise multimodal approach can provide pain relief and optimize patient outcomes.
This document provides an overview of pharmacotherapy for pain management. It discusses the physiology of pain including the ascending and descending pain pathways. It describes the different types of pain and classifications. For pharmacotherapy, it explains the WHO three-step ladder approach starting with non-opioid analgesics like NSAIDs, then weak opioids, and finally strong opioids. It provides details of commonly used non-opioid and opioid analgesics, their dosages, properties and side effects. The document emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach for pain management including pharmacotherapy, physiotherapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Acute pain management involves classifying pain and identifying its underlying cause. Treatment options include nonopioid medications like acetaminophen and NSAIDs, opioids, and adjuvant analgesics. Opioids are effective for moderate to severe acute pain but can cause adverse effects like respiratory depression, nausea, and constipation. Adjuvant analgesics like gabapentin, pregabalin, and ketamine may enhance opioid analgesia and reduce opioid requirements and side effects. Close monitoring is important when using opioids to manage acute pain.
Dr. Kumar presented on acute pain management. He discussed how acute pain is initiated by nociceptors and transmitted through three neurons to the brain. Poorly managed acute pain can lead to central sensitization and chronic pain. He described the anatomy and pathways of acute pain transmission, including modulation by descending pathways. Drugs like opioids, NSAIDs, ketamine, alpha-2 agonists, and gabapentinoids were discussed as treatment options, as well as patient-controlled analgesia and regional anesthesia techniques.
The document discusses the use of anti-inflammatory drugs for postoperative pain management. It provides conclusions from several studies on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. The studies found that NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors provided effective postoperative pain relief when used as part of a multimodal analgesic regimen. Specifically, dexamethasone, ketorolac, parecoxib, celecoxib, and rofecoxib reduced postoperative pain and opioid consumption with few side effects when administered before or after surgery. The document concludes that anti-inflammatory drugs are a valuable adjuvant for multimodal postoperative pain management.
This document discusses acute pain management in the emergency department. It begins with an introduction noting that pain is the most common presenting symptom in emergency departments, with over 60% of patients experiencing pain. It then focuses on defining acute pain and providing an overview of the pathophysiology of acute pain. The document also discusses common barriers to pain management in emergency settings, dos and don'ts of pain treatment, and strategies to improve pain management in the emergency department. It provides recommendations from international health organizations on patients' right to pain relief.
This document provides information on pain management for internal medicine housestaff. It begins with definitions of pain from the International Association for the Study of Pain. It then covers the basic approach to pain management, including assessing the etiology, classifying pain types, clinically assessing pain, and treating pain. It discusses treating cancer pain specifically and provides guidelines on the WHO analgesic ladder for treating mild, moderate, and severe pain. It also covers adjuvant analgesics, opioid selection, routes of administration, and equianalgesic dosing of common opioids like morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, hydromorphone, and methadone.
This document discusses managing pain after surgery. It notes that persistent postsurgical pain is often overlooked and can be prevented. A multimodal approach using combinations of analgesics like opioids, NSAIDs, and nerve blocks can improve pain relief while reducing side effects from individual drugs. Identifying patients at risk of chronic pain and using multimodal acute pain management may decrease the risk of acute pain becoming persistent after surgery.
The document discusses opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH), where opioid use leads to increased sensitivity to painful stimuli. It defines OIH and outlines its neurobiological mechanisms. Experimental models in vitro, with animals, and clinical studies in humans are described showing OIH can occur in the perioperative period from remifentanil-based anesthesia. Approaches to limit OIH include avoiding high intraoperative opioid doses, multimodal postoperative analgesia, and use of regional analgesia instead of opioids. Further research is needed to predict patients at risk and tailor anesthetic plans accordingly.
1) The document discusses the history and modern understanding of pain physiology and management of postoperative pain. It describes how pain was originally thought to be outside the body but is now understood as a physical sensation processed in the nervous system.
2) Postoperative pain has acute causes from incisions and procedures as well as referred pain, and poorly managed pain can impair recovery. A multimodal approach using combinations of analgesics like paracetamol, NSAIDs, and opioids along with local anesthetics and nerve blocks is recommended.
3) Patient-controlled analgesia allows patients to self-administer opioids within safe limits and provides effective pain relief. Preemptive analgesia aims to prevent central sensitization by treating pain before and
The document discusses neuropathic pain, defining it and differentiating it from other types of pain. It provides statistics on the prevalence of acute and chronic pain.

This study compared the clinical effectiveness and safety of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment combined with pudendal nerve block (NB) versus NB alone for treating pudendal neuralgia. 80 patients were randomly assigned to receive either PRF+NB or NB. Patients in the PRF+NB group had significantly lower pain scores and depression scores at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months compared to the NB group. The PRF+NB group also had higher clinical effectiveness rates and less postoperative analgesic usage. No severe adverse events occurred in either group. The results suggest that PRF+NB provides more long-lasting pain relief and better outcomes for pudendal neuralgia than NB alone.

Abstract
Background This randomized controlled trial compared a
standard patient controlled analgesic (PCA) regime with a
transdermal and oral Fentanyl regime for post-operative
pain management in patients undergoing total knee
replacement.
Methods One hundred and ninety-six patients undergoing
total knee replacement were recruited. Pre- and post-op-
eratively Visual Analogue Score (VAS), Oxford Knee
Score, Health Anxiety and Depression Score and Brief Pain
Inventory Score were completed. According to the day 1,
VAS score patients were randomly allocated to either a
PCA regime or a Fentanyl transdermal/oral regime. Patient
reported outcomes were measured until the patients were
discharged.
Results The results demonstrate that in terms of analgesic
effect, day of discharge and side effect profile the two
regimes are comparable.
Conclusions We conclude that a Fentanyl transdermal
regime provides adequate analgesic effect comparable to a
standard PCA regime in conjunction with a low side effect
profile. Using a transdermal analgesic system provides ef-
ficient continuous delivery enabling a smooth transition
from hospital to home within the first week. Transdermal
Fentanyl provides an alternative analgesic regime that can
provide an equivalent analgesic effect so as to enable a
satisfactory outcome for the patient in terms of function
and pain.

Introduction
Knee replacement surgery has proved a successful and
cost-effective method for relieving pain and restoring
function in patients with osteoarthritis [1]. However, pain
management after knee replacement surgery remains a
significant problem, with patients reporting this as a major
concern prior to surgery [2]. Implementing relevant pre-
operative screening methods may facilitate the identifica-
tion of individuals at high risk of experiencing high post-
operative pain [3]. Despite recent advances in the aetiology
of pain, improved pain treatments and the development of
clinical guidelines for pain assessment, the under-treatment
of post-operative pain remains a challenge to both surgeon
and anaesthetist. Recent studies have clearly demonstrated
that patient satisfaction following total knee replacement is
multifactorial with the most significant predictor of dis-
satisfaction being a painful total knee replacement [1].
Providing effective pain relief in the post-operative pe-
riod is essential to enable early mobili.

Dexmedetomidine(1μg/kg) total volume 20 ml was deposited intra-articularly.Patients were monitored in the postoperative ward for the hemodynamic parameters and their Sedation score was assessed.. The efficacy of the drug was determined by improvement in VAS score, duration of analgesia and total number of rescue analgesics during 24 hr in post operative period.
Results: There was no statistically significant differences observed in heart rate except changes at 6 and 8 hr. At 6 and 8 hr in group P pulse (82.48 ± 7.49, 81.44 ± 8.78) as compared to group D (75.38 ± 6.52, 74.96 ± 5.70),because of duration of action of ropivacaine with or without dexmedetomidine.There was no statistically significant difference in blood pressure was found, except at 12 hour and 24 hour (p=0.018), because of longer duration of action of intrarticular dexmedetomidine with ropivacaine in group D.At 6 hrs patients in Group P had a mean VAS score of 3.2 as compared to VAS score values of 1.8 in Group D which is statistically significant..At 2 , 4, 6 and 8 hour VAS score in P group was 1.64, 2.44, 3.24, 2.84 respectively. As compared to group P, in group D VAS score at 2, 4, 6 and 8 hour was 0.92, 1.04, 1.79 and 2.08 respectively. So VAS score lower in group D as compared to group P at 2, 4, 6 and 8 hrs.
This randomized controlled trial assessed the efficacy of paravertebral block (PVB) for perioperative analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It found that patients receiving PVB before general anesthesia required significantly less intraoperative fentanyl and postoperative PCA morphine compared to those receiving only general anesthesia. PVB also resulted in lower pain scores in the immediate postoperative period and fewer opioid-related side effects. The study demonstrates that PVB can provide effective analgesia and reduce opioid consumption for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The document summarizes a systematic review that analyzed 15 randomized controlled trials on the use of acupuncture and related techniques for postoperative pain management. The review found that acupuncture was associated with significant reductions in postoperative opioid consumption, pain intensity, and opioid-related side effects such as nausea, dizziness, and sedation, compared to sham controls. Specifically, acupuncture reduced opioid use by 23-29 mg at 8-72 hours postoperatively and decreased pain scores at 8 and 72 hours. The studies involved a variety of surgeries and acupuncture methods.
Pregabalin is an effective and safe adjuvant for reducing chronic
post-thoracotomy pain, without significant side effects, in all age
groups and either gender. The pain relief becomes statistically
significant after three weeks of treatment and it continues till six
months. However, larger randomized and placebo-controlled trials
of longer durations are required to further validate these findings.
This study compared the effects of epidural analgesia and patient-controlled analgesia on patients undergoing laparoscopic right colectomy or low anterior resection. The study found that:
1) Epidural analgesia was associated with faster return of bowel function by 1 day in patients undergoing low anterior resection, but not in patients undergoing right colectomy.
2) Epidural analgesia provided significantly better pain control compared to patient-controlled analgesia for both right colectomy and low anterior resection patients.
3) However, epidural analgesia alone was inadequate for pain control in 28% of patients, who required the addition of patient-controlled analgesia.

This study assessed the effects of low-dose subarachnoid block with bupivacaine and fentanyl in elderly hypertensive female patients undergoing vaginal hysterectomy. Sixty-two patients were randomly assigned to receive either 12.5 mg bupivacaine alone or 7.5 mg bupivacaine with 25 mg fentanyl. The combination led to a faster onset and longer duration of sensory blockade without prolonging motor blockade. It also resulted in fewer episodes of hypotension, less need for vasopressors, and longer duration of postoperative analgesia. The low-dose combination provided effective spinal anesthesia with improved hemodynamic stability and pain relief.

This study compared the effectiveness of injecting a propofol-lidocaine mixture through either a large antecubital vein or a small vein on the dorsum of the hand for preventing pain during propofol injection. The study found that injecting the mixture through the large antecubital vein resulted in significantly less moderate to severe pain (20%) compared to injecting through the small hand vein (71%). Injecting through the large antecubital vein also resulted in less reported pain overall and smaller increases in heart rate after injection compared to the small hand vein. The study concludes that using a large antecubital vein is markedly more effective at reducing pain from propofol injection than a small hand vein
This study examined the effects of using the upper limb tension test (ULTT) as a neural mobilization technique in addition to conservative treatment for patients with cervical radiculopathy. 40 patients were divided into a control group receiving conservative treatment only and an experimental group receiving conservative treatment plus ULTT. Outcome measures of cervical range of motion and pain were assessed before and after treatment. The results showed significantly greater improvements in cervical flexion, extension, and side flexion ranges of motion as well as pain levels for the experimental group compared to the control group, indicating that ULTT provides additional benefits for managing symptoms of cervical radiculopathy.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Abstract: Pain is a sensation which makes most of the patients to move to a hospital. One of the biggest
concerns for the patients undergoing surgery as well as for the anaesthetists going to anaesthetize them. The
duty of an anaesthetist giving spinal anesthesia to a patient is to make the patient pain free postoperatively
when effect of spinal anesthesia disappears. Many methods are being used to give analgesia postoperatively.
Pre-emptive analgesia is one of them in which drugs are given before giving an incision in order to provide
analgesia postoperatively. Pregabalin and Gabapentin both are effective as pre-emptive analgesia but neither
of the drugs provided long term pain relief. Long term pain relief through pre-emptive analgesia will be a boon
for patients if achieved. Search is still on for the pharmacological agents which can be used pre-emptively to
provide adequate analgesia postoperatively.
Keywords: analgesia, Gabapentin, Hip Surgery, Preemptive, Pregabalin
I. Introduction
Pre-emptive Analgesia has been defined as treatment that starts before surgery, prevents the
establishment of central sensitization caused by incisional injury (covers only the period of surgery), and
prevents the establishment of central sensitization caused by incisional and inflammatory injuries (covers the
period of surgery and the initial postoperative period).1
It is an antinociceptive treatment that prevents the
establishment of altered central processing, which amplifies postoperative pain.
Various studies and meta-analysis have explored the use of Gabapentin in the field of pre-emptive
analgesia. The number of studies using Pregabalin is comparatively less. The number of studies comparing the
two drugs is fewer still. It has been seen that not only do both the drugs provide postoperative pain relief, they
also reduce the requirements of other analgesics.2,3,4,5,6
Gabapentin and Pregabalin, are structural analogues of the inhibitory neurotransmitter Gamma-Amino
Butyric acid (GABA), but are functionally not related to it. Both drugs were introduced in the treatment of
epilepsy, Gabapentin in 1993-94 and Pregabalin in 2004. Anecdotal reports were followed by randomized
controlled trials proving these drugs to be useful in treating neuropathic pain like that of diabetic neuropathy,
trigeminal neuralgias, post herpetic neuralgia and reflex sympathetic dystrophy. The mechanism of action of
Pregabalin is probably the same as Gabapentin but it has a superior pharmacokinetic profile.1,4
II. Objectives
Primary purpose
To evaluate post-operative analgesic benefits in patients receiving gabapentin or pregabalin pre-
emptively, posted for elective hip surgery under spinal anesthesia and to compare their post-operative efficacy
with respect to
Increase in duration of postoperative analgesia.
Reduction in total postoperative requirement of analgesics.
Secondary purpose
To compare gabapentin and pregabalin regarding:
Hemodynamic changes intra-operatively and post-operatively.
Sedative effects.
Intra-operative and post-operative complications.
Side effects, if any.
This study was a randomized, prospective, double blinded, controlled study.

III. Sample Selection
120 patients of ASA grade I and II between 30 – 60 years of age of either sex admitted in BGH, Bokaro
Steel City (Jharkhand), scheduled for hip surgeries were included in the study. The study protocol was approved by
institutional ethical and scientific committee and written informed consent was obtained from all patients.
Inclusion criteria:
ASA Grade I and II
Age between 30-60 years
Either sex
Scheduled for elective hip surgery under spinal anesthesia
Who gave their free consent for participation in the study
Exclusion criteria:
Patient’s refusal
ASA Grade III and IV
Age < 30 years or > 60 years
Patients with central nervous system disorders
Patients with coagulation abnormalities and bleeding disorders
Patients having cardiac diseases
Patients with h/o of chronic pain using regular analgesics, sedatives and anticonvulsants
Patients with hypersensitivity to these drugs
Patients with impaired renal function
The sample group of 120 was randomly divided into three groups of 40 patients each (group P, group G
and group C) using computerized randomization prior to commencement of the study.
Group G: Patients in this group received, Oral Gabapentin, 900mg, 1 hour prior to surgery,
with a sip of water.
Group P: Patients in this group received, Oral Pregabalin, 300mg, 1 hour prior to surgery,
with a sip of water.
Group C: Patients in this group received, Oral Placebo capsule, 1 hour prior to surgery, with
a sip of water.
IV. Methodology
A methodical pre-anesthetic check up and assessment was performed which included – detailed history,
general, systemic and airway examinations and relevant baseline investigations.
All patients were kept fasting overnight (6-8 hrs) prior to surgery.
All patients were premedicated with tab ranitidine 150mg per oral night before the surgery and tab
ranitidine 150mg and tab metoclopramide 10mg per oral in the morning 1 hr prior to surgery. All doses of
Gabapentin, Pregabalin and placebo were given per oral one hour prior to the administration of spinal
anesthesia.
In the pre-operative hold patients were monitored for basal heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), non
invasive blood pressure (NIBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2).
Intravenous access was obtained on the forearm with 18 Gauge IV cannula and patient was preloaded with an
i.v. infusion of one litre of ringer lactate solution in preoperative area.
On arrival in operating room each patient was identified and then placed on a tilting operation table.
Spinal anesthesia was performed with the patient in sitting position. After positioning puncture site was
infiltrated with 2% Lignocaine. SAB was performed under strict aseptic and antiseptic measures using a 25-
gauge Quincke’s needle at L3-L4 or L4-L5 intervertebral space through midline approach. 3ml of hyperbaric
bupivacaine(0.5%) was administered over 15-20 secs. A sterile pack was applied at the puncture site after
removal of the spinal needle and the patient was placed gently in supine position. After the spinal block HR,
RR, NIBP, MAP and SpO2 were measured every 5 mins. intraoperatively and then every 15 mins. in
postoperative period.
Hypotension was defined as 20% decrease in blood pressure from baseline values, and was treated with
fluid replacement and incremental i.v. boluses of Ephedrine 5–10 mg. Bradycardia was defined as heart rate less
than 50bpm and treated with i.v. atropine.
The maximum height of sensory block was assessed by pin prick method using sterilized needle. Time
to first complaint of pain and request for rescue analgesia was recorded. Patient’s pain was assessed immediate
postoperatively and then at 2, 4, 6, 12 and24 hours by visual analogue Scale (VAS) and dose of rescue analgesic

6 Asleep with no response to painful stimulus
VI. Visual Analogue Scale For Pain Assessment
VII. Results
Proper template was generated for data entry in Ms Excel. Data analysis was performed using SPSS
(Statistical Package for Social Sciences) software version 13.0 for windows
Chi-square test was utilized to compare discrete variables (A test of association between two events in
binomial samples)
ANOVA Was used to compare different parameters like means of BP, HR, RR, SpO2, VAS score and
sedation score along time between groups.
Irrespective of methods used, differences between various parameters among different groups or sub-groups
were considered significant if the p-value was <0.05. If p-value was > 0.05 then the differences were
considered statistically insignificant.

VIII. Conclusions
• As compared to the control the study drugs (Gabapentin and Pregabalin) did not have any pre-operative
anxiolytic effect in the doses used for the study.
• Giving Gabapentin or Pregabalin to the patients pre-emptively did not alter the hemodynamic status of
patients intraoperatively as compared to the control group.
• It was observed that analgesic requirement was more in the Control group, suggesting thereby the
possible analgesic sparing effect of Gabapentin and Pregabalin.
• Gabapentin and Pregabalin can be considered as effective pre-emptive analgesics but in the doses used
neither drug provided long term pain relief.
• Pregabalin has superior efficacy in respect to quality and duration of analgesia as compared to
gabapentin.
• The major side effect noted was sedation in the immediate post-operative period with both study drugs.
The sedation observed was not disabling. Gabapentin caused an increase in PONV.
• We conclude that both Gabapentin (900mg) and Pregabalin (300mg) are effective pre-emptive
analgesics for short duration surgeries. Further studies using higher or divided doses can be suggested
to increase quality and duration of analgesia.
