Summary
The research will be conducted between March 2021 and June 2023. All patients scheduled
electively for one of four surgeries (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, Submucosal resection,
Breast lumpectomy, and median laparotomy) at that period of time at An-Najah National
University hospital will be included in the research sample, unless not meeting with the
criteria put.
Primary objectives are:
To evaluate the effectiveness of preemptive analgesia on postoperative pain relief and
shorter hospital stay for adults undergoing surgical procedures, according to the type of
surgery and the type of drug.
To compare the effect of a single oral preemptive dose of Pregabalin versus Oxycodone on
postoperative pain relief, in terms of pain intensity as assessed by pain numeric rating
scale (NRS)
