Tapentadol vs Pregabalin for Postoperative Pain in Lower Limb Surgery

2026年5月13日 更新者:Mirna Magali Delgado Carlo、ISSSTE Hospital Regional "Gral. Ignacio Zaragoza"

Oral Premedication With Tapentadol Versus Pregabalin for Acute Postoperative Pain in Lower Limb Surgery Under Neuraxial Anesthesia: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

This pilot randomised controlled trial compared 72-hour oral premedication with tapentadol (50 mg every 12 hours) versus pregabalin (75 mg every 24 hours) for preventing acute postoperative pain in 46 patients undergoing elective lower limb surgery under neuraxial anaesthesia. The primary outcome was pain intensity measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS 0-10) at PACU arrival and at 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes thereafter. Secondary outcomes included Verbal Rating Scale scores, rescue morphine consumption, and safety (nausea/vomiting, hypersensitivity).

研究概览

详细说明

Acute postoperative pain affects over 80% of surgical patients, with orthopaedic lower limb procedures causing particularly severe pain. Preemptive analgesia may attenuate central sensitisation before surgical incision. Tapentadol (μ-opioid agonist + norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor) and pregabalin (voltage-gated calcium channel modulator) are pharmacologically distinct options, but direct comparative data are lacking.

This single-centre, double-blind, parallel-group pilot randomised controlled trial was conducted at Hospital Regional "General Ignacio Zaragoza," ISSSTE, Mexico City. Forty-six patients (ASA I-II, age 18-50 years, BMI 18-35 kg/m²) scheduled for elective lower limb surgery under neuraxial anaesthesia were randomised 1:1 to receive either tapentadol 50 mg orally every 12 hours (n=23) or pregabalin 75 mg orally every 24 hours (n=23), both initiated 72 hours before surgical incision.

The primary outcome was postoperative pain intensity assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS 0-10) at PACU arrival (T0) and at 30 (T1), 60 (T2), 90 (T3), and 120 (T4) minutes thereafter. Secondary outcomes included Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) scores, rescue morphine consumption (4 mg IV on request), and incidence of nausea/vomiting and hypersensitivity reactions. The primary longitudinal analysis used a linear mixed model with Group, Time, and Group×Time interaction as fixed effects and a random intercept per patient. Between-group contrasts at each timepoint were derived from estimated marginal means with Holm correction. Effect sizes are reported as Cohen's d.

The trial was approved by the institutional ethics and research committee (RPI #386-2024) and registered with the ISSSTE institutional research registry prior to enrolment. Due to institutional policy restrictions at the time of study initiation, registration on ClinicalTrials.gov was completed after data collection; this is disclosed transparently in accordance with CONSORT 2025 guidance on retrospective registration disclosure.
