Trial Outcomes

Absolute Adhesional Abdominal Pain Score Assessed at Baseline Through Week 12 in Patients Treated With Pregabalin 150-300 mg Daily Compared With Patients Given Look Alike Placebo

Patients were randomized to pregabalin or placebo 75 mg twice a day. Patients were allowed to double the dose on day 3 if adequate pain relief was not obtained. Abdominal pain reduction was measured on a Likert scale. A Likert scale assumes the intensity of pain is linear on a continuum from no pain at level 0 to severe pain at level 10. Patients were required to complete a daily dairy recording pain using the Likert 11-point numeric scale. The primary end point was a positive change in the daily pain diary of 2 points from each patient's baseline at weeks 8 after the completion of the blinded study and at week 12 during the open label portion of the study. After 7 weeks all patients are randomized to study drug pregabalin 150 to 300 mg daily for 4 additional weeks after a one week wash out with no medication. (NCT00310765)

Improved Sleep Scores

Absolute Improvement in Sleep by assessing Mean Daily sleep interference scores as measured weekly starting at baseline and reported weekly through week 12 excluding the first week. This score is an 11 point scale the documents the pain interference in sleep in the preceding 24 hours. 0 is no interference and 10 is pain completely disrupted sleep in the previous 24 hours. During the study patients recorded a daily sleep interference score based on 11 point scale (0-10) with the higher number being the most sleep interference (NCT00310765)
