简要总结
In this study, patients scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) will be screened through a survey for patients without central sensitivity and patients with neuropathic pain as preoperative evaluation.
It is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of pregabalin by dividing patient groups according to non central sensitization and neuropathic pain.
详细描述
Screening for central sensitization and neuropathic pain will be performed two weeks in advance of surgery for patients scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty, and is performed through a central sensitization questionnaire and neuropathic pain survey. Through the Central Sensitization Inventory, if the score is 40 or lower, it is considered as the subject of non central sensitization. And 13 or higher based on 38 points are considered as the subject of neuropathic pain.
Among the patients who meet these two criteria, only those who agree to the study are targeted. The same probability is assigned by a randomized table two weeks before surgery to a group taking pregabalin and a group taking no pill.
In the case of patients with non-central sensitization and neuropathic pain, the experimental group will take medicine for 10 weeks from 2 weeks before surgery to 8 weeks after surgery. The experimental group takes one pill of pregabalin 150mg after breakfast and one pill of pregabalin 150 mg after dinner. The control group takes no pill.
A total of 10 weeks' worth of drugs will be provided two weeks before surgery, and medication compliance will be evaluated based on the number of unused drugs returned by the test subject when the drug is returned. In order to evaluate medication compliance, clinical trials should record the number of drugs provided and returned at each visit and the discontinuation date. Subjects must receive medication guidance on the drug-taking schedule. When the clinical trial is completed or terminated in the middle, the unused or partially used drugs must be returned to the clinical examiner and discarded after confirmation.
Relief drugs can also be taken up to six tablets a day, up to two tablets of 650 mg of Tylenol ER Tablets(acetaminophen) once in both groups.

研究组 & 干预措施
Pregabalin
Experimental group will take medicine for 10 weeks from 2 weeks before surgery to 8 weeks after surgery. The group takes one pill of pregabalin 150mg after breakfast and one pill of pregabalin 150 mg after dinner.
干预措施: Pregabalin 150mg (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Visual Pain Scale change
时间窗: Changes from preoperative Visual pain scale at postoperative 1,2,6,18 weeks and 1 year
Visual pain scale is a validated questionnaire for evaluation of patients who underwent knee operation. The score range is 0-10. The lower the score, the better the result.
次要结局
- Western Ontario and McMaster University Arthritis Index Scale change(Changes from preoperative Western Ontario and McMaster University Arthritis Index (WOMAC) scale at postoperative 1, 2, 6, 18 weeks and 1 yea)
- Knee range of motion change(Changes from preoperative knee range of motion at postoperative 1, 2, 6, 18 weeks and 1 year)
