Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Study Initiation and Completion Dates: 27 December 2005 to 28 December 2007; 10 study centers in Korea

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
241 subjects were assigned to study treatment; one subject was randomized but did not receive any study treatment with the reason ‘Did not meet entrance criteria’.

Reporting Groups
  Description
Pregabalin Dose levels of pregabalin were 150 mg/day, 300 mg/day, 450 mg/day, and 600 mg/day which were achieved by taking 75 mg, 150 mg, 225 mg (which was the combination of 75 mg + 150 mg) or 300 mg of pregabalin twice daily (BID), with or without food, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Placebo Subjects who were randomized to placebo remained on placebo throughout the remainder of the study.

Measure Type Secondary
Measure Title Medical Outcome Study (MOS) Sleep Quantity
Measure Description MOS Sleep Scale is a subject-rated questionnaire consisting of 12 items that assess the key constructs of sleep; assesses sleep for the 4 weeks prior to evaluation. The MOS Sleep Quantity sub-scale scores range from 0 to 24 (number of hours slept).
Time Frame Week 8  
Safety Issue No  

Population Description
Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
The ITT population consisted of subjects who received ≥1 dose of study medication and had contributed to the analysis of any efficacy parameter. MOS was measured at baseline and Week 8. For subjects not completing the study, their final data were considered Week 8 data; those without final data were excluded from the analysis.

Reporting Groups
