New hope for men suffering from chronic pelvic pain?

NCT ID NCT00371033

Summary

This study tested whether a medication called pregabalin could help men with chronic pelvic pain and discomfort. Over 300 participants were randomly assigned to receive either pregabalin or a placebo pill for six weeks to see which was better at reducing pain and improving quality of life. The goal was to find a new treatment option for this often difficult-to-manage condition.
