Pregabalin Restores Sleep and Circadian Rhythms in Neuropathic Pain—Unlike Morphine: Translational Insights from a Mouse SNI Model

Pregabalin Restores Sleep and Circadian Rhythms in Neuropathic Pain—Unlike Morphine: Translational Insights from a Mouse SNI Model

In a mouse spared nerve injury model, pregabalin—but not morphine—restored REM sleep, normalized locomotor and temperature circadian rhythms, and reversed spinal circadian gene changes. Findings suggest analgesic choice can differentially affect sleep and circadian biology in neuropathic pain.
