Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Mean of the Pain on Movement scores obtained over Post-Op Days 1-5. The Pain on Movement assessments are performed using an 11-point Numeric Rating Scale [NRS] following passive flexion & adduction at hip joint at 12-hr interval intervals [ Time Frame: 5 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Mean of the Daily Pain Scores (11-point NRS) obtained on Post-Op Days 1-7, and mean of the Daily Pain Scores obtained on Post-Op Days 8-14 [ Time Frame: 14 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Mean of the Daily Sleep Interference Scores (11-point NRS) obtained on Post-Op Days 1-5 [ Time Frame: 5 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Mean of the Anxiety Visual Analog Scale (A-VAS) scores obtained from the assessment performed on the day of surgery through to Post-Op Day 5 [ Time Frame: 5 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Time to mobilization (day on which patient is able to walk 5 steps for the first time post-surgery) [ Time Frame: 5 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Use of rescue analgesics administered on Post-Op Days 0 - 5 [ Time Frame: 5days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Incidence of neuropathic pain as detected using the ID Pain questionnaire 3 & 6 months following the surgery [ Time Frame: 6 mths ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Safety & tolerability of pregabalin versus placebo in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty [ Time Frame: 14 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The patient is undergoing a routine (i.e., expected to be uncomplicated) total primary or secondary hip replacement surgery performed under a standardized regimen of spinal anesthesia, and is expected to experience moderate to severe post-surgical pain in the absence of post-operative analgesia

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The patient is undergoing a revision to a previous hip replacement procedure, hip replacement procedure further to a road traffic accident with multiple injuries, or a procedure expected to last longer than 4 hours
  • The patient has a history of uncontrolled chronic disease or a concurrent clinically significant illness or medical condition, which in the Investigator's opinion, would contraindicate study participation or confound interpretation of the results
