This study is the first to evaluate the relationship between pregabalin and AEFs using the SRS analysis strategy. The risk of AEFs in the ≥60 years age group might increase compared to that in the <60 years age group. AEFs occurred almost within 1 week after pregabalin administration, and the median for AEF onset was 2 days. Our results show that patients should be closely monitored for AEFs for 1 week from the start of pregabalin administration.
