Out of 222 subjects that were randomised in the study, 111 subjects received Lyrica and 109 subjects received placebo for 12 weeks followed by a three-month washout period.

Subjects in the Lyrica arm received 600mg/day (300mg twice daily) for ten weeks after a two-week titration that started at 100mg/day (50mg BID).
