Efficacy of Pregabalin for Diabetic Pruritus - A Randomized Controlled Study.

Summary

Brief Summary: The goal of this randomized controlled study is to learn if pregabalin combined with emollients can reduce pruritus (itching) in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does pregabalin combined with emollients reduce pruritus severity compared to a placebo combined with emollients? What is the impact of pregabalin on the quality of life of participants suffering from diabetic pruritus? we will compare pregabalin plus emollient to a placebo plus emollient to see if pregabalin works better for reducing pruritus. Participants will: Receive either pregabalin 75 mg daily along with emollient therapy or a placebo along with emollient therapy. Visit the clinic at weeks 4, 8, and 12 for follow-up assessments, including: Pruritus severity using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and 5-D Itch Scale. Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) to measure overall improvement. This study will help determine if pregabalin, a drug used for neuropathic pain, can be an effective treatment for pruritus in people with diabetes.
