Thus, it modulates the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, such as glutamate, norepinephrine, substance-P, and calcitonin gene related peptide. Also, it causes inhibitory modulation of overexcited neurons and restores them to a normal state. Pre-emptive analgesia aims to reduce postoperative opioid consumption especially in ambulatory surgeries. Pregabalin (PGB) is an emerging drug in this field. Different doses of preoperative oral pregabalin (75, 150 and 300 mg) are described in the literature with a dose-response analgesic relationship and reduction of opioid use; however increasing the dose results in increasing the incidence of side effects mainly sedation and dizziness.
