  • Normal neurological examination
  • Be able to understand study protocol
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

  • Patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to Pregabalin or known hypersensitivity to the study drug.
