Pregabalin, a ligand for alfa2delta subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels, has been shown to be an effective adjuvant therapy for acute postoperative pain, by inhibiting central sensitization. The IL-6, is detectable 60 minutes after surgical incision, persisting for until 10 days, with maximal plasmatic level in 4 and 6 hours. The objective of this study is evaluating the analgesic effect of pregabalin and its repercussion on serum levels of IL6.
