Pregabalin Shows Promise as Treatment Option for Laryngeal Sensory Neuropathy

This study would give patients another option for treating a condition that can be a problem for the patients, as well as those who live or work with that individual, said Dr. Streichenwein, a former researcher in development of pharmaceuticals and Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, who is board certified in psychiatry and neurology.

She cautioned, however, that pregabalin may cause somnolence or balance difficulties among older individuals, and doctors should consider the possibility of that type of adverse event in treating older populations than the group reported by Dr. Sycamore.
