Unfortunately, many patients may have persistent pain lasting for many months, or even years, following thoracic surgery. No effective treatment has so far been established for chronic pain after thoracotomy. There are no reports of treatment involving Pregabalin for pain after thoracic surgery. This study reports four cases that showed significant improvement with Pregabalin in late-onset (notified during an office visit after discharge) nocturnal insomnia and in stress-induced ulcers caused by intercostal neuralgia after thoracotomy.
不幸的是，许多患者在胸部手术后可能会持续数月甚至数年的疼痛。目前尚无针对开胸术后慢性疼痛的有效治疗方法。没有关于普瑞巴林治疗开胸手术后疼痛的报告。本研究报告了 4 例患者，他们在开胸术后夜间迟发性（出院后门诊随访时通知）失眠和因肋间神经痛引起的应激性溃疡中，使用普瑞巴林治疗后症状显著改善。
