The Effects of Pregabalin and Adductor Canal Block on Postoperative Pain in Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Conclusion Preoperative 150 mg pregabalin reduced postoperative opioid consumption as much as adductor canal block in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The first analgesic requirement was earlier in Group C than Group P and A. In addition, pregabalin can provide prolong the spinal sensory block duration as well as shorter time to achieve high fast-tracking scores. We recommend that both methods can be preferred as part of multimodal analgesia. PMID: 31887853 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
