Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of the preoperative effect of pregabalin on the severity of pain after third molar surgery
Design
A controlled, parallel-group, single-blind, randomized, phase 3 clinical trial on 24 patients, using a coin toss for randomization.
Settings and conduct
The lower jaws of the patients are assigned to two half jaws and randomly assigned to the control group and the other side to the intervention group by tossing a coin. To prevent the impact of previous surgical experience on severity of pain interpretation, the intervention group will undergo surgery for impacted wisdom teeth first, and at least two weeks later, the control group will undergo the same surgery. Patients in the intervention group will receive a 75 mg capsule of pregabalin 30 minutes before surgery, while the control group will receive a placebo. Since the pregabalin capsule and placebo will be identical in size, shape, and color, participants will not be able to differentiate between them. Patients will receive basic surgical treatment. The type of anesthetic drug and the needle gauge will be the same. After surgery, both groups will be prescribed 400 mg of ibuprofen. Pain severity of each patient using the VAS scale will be asked and recorded at 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours post surgery. This study is designed as a parallel study; Also, the place of surgery and the selection of patients will take place in the oral and maxillofacial surgery department of the Gorgan Faculty of Dentistry.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
People aged 18 to 50 years with bilateral impacted wisdom teeth and no systemic diseases, no addiction, no allergy to pregabalin and no active oral infection.
Intervention groups
30 minutes before surgery, the intervention group will receive a 75 mg pregabalin capsule and the control group will receive a placebo capsule.
Main outcome variables

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: In the intervention group, the patient will be given an oral capsule pregabalin (a structural analogue of gamma-aminobutyric acid) 75 mg (Actoverco company) along with 50 mL of water 30 minutes before surgery. Control group: In the control group, the patient will be given a placebo capsule (containing white sugar) along with 50 mL of water 30 minutes before surgery. The surgical procedure for impacted wisdom tooth is performed according to standard protocol. For all patients, a triangular flap is created from the mesial aspect of tooth #7 to the distobuccal of the wisdom tooth. After osteotomy, the impacted tooth is extracted by sectioning, and finally, the surgical site is sutured using interrupted silk (3/0) sutures. The materials used include local anesthesia drugs (3 carpules of 2% lidocaine with 100,000/1 epinephrine for inferior alveolar, buccal, and lingual nerve blocks) and the needle size (27 gauge) will be the same. After surgery, gelofen 400 mg (Aborihan Company) will be administered to both groups. It should be noted that the surgery will be performed by a skillfull oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
