Pregabalin Eases Pain from Diabetic Neuropathy
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
A review of previous studies showed that pregabalin (Lyrica), a drug used for epileptic attacks, could safely and effectively relieve pain from diabetic neuropathy. Published in the journal Diabetes Care, the analysis of seven studies on pregabalin, with dosages of 150, 300, and 600 mg and study durations from five to 13 weeks, showed that “pregabalin significantly reduced pain and pain-related sleep interference,” said researchers from the Harvard Medical School in Boston.
