Prophylactic use of pregabalin for prevention of succinylcholine-induced fasciculation and myalgia: a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study

Background: Succinylcholine is commonly used to achieve profound neuromuscular blockade of rapid onset and short duration. Objective: The present study compared the efficacy of pregabalin for prevention of succinylcholine-induced fasciculation and myalgia. Design: Prospective, randomized, placebo co...

description Background: Succinylcholine is commonly used to achieve profound neuromuscular blockade of rapid onset and short duration. Objective: The present study compared the efficacy of pregabalin for prevention of succinylcholine-induced fasciculation and myalgia. Design: Prospective, randomized, placebo controlled, double blinded study. Materials and methods: Patients of both genders undergoing elective spine surgery were randomly assigned to two groups. Patients in Group P (pregabalin group) received 150 mg of pregabalin orally 1 h prior to induction of anesthesia with sips of water and patients in Group C (control group) received placebo. Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl 1.5 mcg/kg, propofol 1.5–2.0 mg/kg followed by succinylcholine 1.5 mg/kg. The intensity of fasciculations was assessed by an observer blinded to the group allotment of the patient on a 4-point scale. A blinded observer recorded postoperative myalgia grade after 24 h of surgery. Patients were provided patient-controlled analgesia with fentanyl for postoperative pain relief. Results: Demographic data of both groups were comparable (p > 0.05). The incidence of muscle fasciculation's was not significant between two groups (p = 0.707), while more patients in group C had moderate to severe fasciculation's compared to group P (p = 0.028). The incidence and severity of myalgia were significantly lower in group P (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Pregabalin 150 mg prevents succinylcholine-induced fasciculations and myalgia and also decreases the fentanyl consumption in elective sine surgery. Resumo: Justificativa: A succinilcolina é comumente usada para atingir um bloqueio neuromuscular profundo, de início rápido e de curta duração. Objetivo: O presente estudo comparou a eficácia de pregabalina na prevenção de mialgia e fasciculação induzidas por succinilcolina. Desenho: Estudo prospectivo, randômico, duplo-cego e controlado por placeboo. Materiais e métodos: Pacientes de ambos os sexos submetidos à cirurgia eletiva de coluna foram aleatoriamente divididos em dois grupos. Os pacientes do Grupo P (pregabalina) receberam 150 mg de pregabalina oral 1 hora antes da indução da anestesia e os pacientes do Grupo C (controle) receberam placebo. A anestesia foi induzida com fentanil (1,5 mcg/kg) e propofol (1,5-2,0 mg/kg), seguidos de succinilcolina 1,5 mg/kg. A intensidade da fasciculação foi avaliada por um observador, cego para a alocação dos grupos, usando uma escala de 4 pontos. Um observador cego registrou o grau pós-operatório de mialgia após 24 horas de cirurgia. Para o alívio da dor no pós-operatório, fentanil foi usado em sistema de analgesia controlada pelo paciente. Resultados: Os dados demográficos de ambos os grupos eram comparáveis (p > 0,05). A incidência de fasciculação muscular não foi significativa entre os dois grupos (p = 0,707), enquanto mais pacientes do Grupo C apresentaram fasciculação de moderada a grave em relação ao Grupo P (p = 0,028). A incidência ea gravidade de mialgia foram significativamente menores no grupo P (p < 0,05). Conclusão: Pregabalina (150 mg) previne mialgia e fasciculação induzidas por succinilcolina, além de diminui o consumo de fentanil em cirurgia eletiva de coluna.
