First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed trial tested whether pregabalin (a nerve pain drug) works better than acetaminophen (a common pain reliever) for post-mastectomy pain syndrome. 158 women took one of the two medications for 14 days, and their pain levels were measured at 2 and 6 weeks. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage this chronic pain after breast cancer surgery.
