Stroke patients frequently encounter central post-stroke neuropathic pain. A recent study analyzed the rate of pain reduction in central post-stroke neuropathic pain with pregabalin therapy.
It collected data prospectively on 36 patients with central post-stroke neuropathic pain, who received Pregabalin 75 mg/day and measured Pain levels using a visual analogue scale at the start of therapy, and at weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12 of treatment.
It then conducted a survival analysis to determine the rate of pain reduction (time vs. pain reduction >50%) using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve and the log-rank test.
The results showed that Pregabalin could significantly reduce central post-stroke neuropathic pain in 69.7% of patients after 12 weeks of treatment. Pregabalin showed no significant difference in the rate of pain reduction between:
Thus, Pregabalin can significantly reduce central post-stroke neuropathic pain in 69.7% of patients after 12 weeks of treatment, irrespective of gender, age, pain onset, history of diseases, or history of the medications.
