Study of Pregabalin Therapy for Pain Relief in Subjects With Post-Herpetic Neuralgia

A Double-Blind Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial of the Time to Onset of Pain Relief in Subjects With Post Therapeutic Neuralgia (PHN) Treated With Pregabalin (150 - 600 Mg/Day Flexible Optimized Dose or 300 Mg/Day Fixed Dose) or Placebo

The purpose of this study is to measure how rapidly pregabalin treatment can relieve pain in patients with post-herpetic neuralgia
