Effects of Oxycodone Combined With Pregabalin on Chronic Postsurgical Pain in Spinal Surgery

Chronic postoperative pain is one of the common perioperative complications, which seriously affects the prognosis of patients. Currently, no specific perioperative pain management strategy has been found to be effective in preventing and treating chronic postoperative pain in patients undergoing spinal surgery. At present, oxycodone has been widely recognized in different surgical populations for the control of acute postoperative pain, but its contribution to chronic postoperative pain remains unknown. Meanwhile, whether pregabalin can reduce the occurrence of chronic postoperative pain remains controversial, and whether the combination of the two drugs can control the occurrence of chronic postoperative pain in a more comprehensive way remains unknown. Therefore, we intend to conduct this randomized-controlled, factorial design study to determine the efficacy and safety of oxycodone combined with pregabalin in the treatment of chronic postoperative pain in patients undergoing spinal surgery.
