I don't know enough about the rating scale to judge the absolute efficacy of pregabalin in this study, but at first look, the results seem disappointing. The placebo response was very high. At a dosage necessary to differ significantly from placebo, side effects became very prominent, with 23% withdrawing from the study.
Side Effect % - Placebo/150mg/600mgSomnolence - 9 10 43
Dizziness - 9 12 40
Headache - 24 29 21
Abnormal thinking - 7 2 21
Asthenia - 7 14 19
Nervousness - 9 0 13
Amblyopia - 0 2 11
Amnesia - 4 2 11
Depersonalisation - 0 5 9
Incoordination - 0 0 9
Insomnia - 13 7 9
Decreased libido - 0 0 9
Nausea - 4 7 9
Withdrew due to adverse events - 9 10 23
