A Non-Interventional, Post-Marketing Surveillance (NI-PMS) study whose objectives were to assess the impact of pregabalin on subjects' pain, quality of sleep, and their general wellbeing, as well as the tolerance and safety of pregabalin in subjects with neuropathic pain.
A non-interventional study of patients diagnosed with neuropathic pain administered pregabalin and followed up for 8 weeks
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
691
Capsules, 150 - 600 mg/day, 2-3 times/day, 8 weeks
Daily Average Pain Scores
Change is observed value at final visit (Week 8 or discontinuation) minus baseline value. Daily average pain score is measured using a 10-point Likert scale where 0 = no pain to 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine.
Time frame: Baseline, Final Visit (Week 8 or discontinuation)
Pain Related Sleep Interference
Change is observed value at final visit (Week 8 or discontinuation) minus baseline value. Pain related sleep interference is measured by a 10-point Likert scale where 0 = does not interfere with sleep, and 10 = completely interferes with sleep
Time frame: Baseline, Final Visit (Week 8 or discontinuation)
Anxiety and Depression Symptoms
The presence of anxiety and depression symptoms were measured, based on how often the subject felt a certain emotion over the past week. Q1:Have you felt calm and relaxed? Q2: Have you felt full of energy? Q3: Have you felt discouraged and sad? Final Visit = Week 8 or time of discontinuation.
Time frame: Baseline, Final Visit (Week 8 or discontinuation)
Clinician Global Improvement of Change (CGIC) at Final Visit (Week 8 or Discontinuation)
Clinician Global Improvement of Change (CGIC) indicates the change of the severity of the condition from baseline, graded from "very much improved" to "very much worse".
Time frame: Final Visit (Week 8 or discontinuation)
Patient Global Improvement of Change (PGIC) at Final Visit (Week 8 or Discontinuation)
Patient Global Improvement of Change (PGIC) indicates the change of severity of conditions from baseline, graded from "very much improved" to "very much worse".
Time frame: Final Visit (Week 8 or discontinuation)
