Abstract
Purpose: This study evaluates the effect of pregabalin on fasciculation and myalgia after using succinylcholine. Design: This randomized double-blind prospective study was conducted among 100 patients aged 20 to 60 years old. Methods: Pregabalin (300 mg) and placebo (in capsule form) were placed in similar containers. The results were analyzed by SPSS 23 software, and statistical analysis consisted of χ2 test and t test, and a P value less than .05 was considered significant. Findings: The mean pain score in the group receiving pregabalin was lower than the placebo group. According to the χ2 test, there was a significant difference between the two groups in the frequency of fasciculation (P = .003). Mean fasciculation severity in the pregabalin group was lower than placebo group. According to t test, there was a significant difference in the mean fasciculation severity between the two groups (P = .002). Conclusions: This study showed that 300 mg of pregabalin was effective in reducing postoperative fasciculation and myalgia in patients treated with succinylcholine. © 2019 American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses
