Özet
Erythromelalgia (EM) is defined as the clinical syndrome characterized by erythema, an increased skin temperature, and burning pain in the affected extremities. Symptoms are relieved by cooling and aggravated in warm temperatures. The pain is often very severe, and treating is generally difficult. The therapeutic guidelines are also not well-established yet; a number of very different treatments were advised. We present a case of a 19-year-old male with primary erythromelalgia treated with pregabalin. The diagnosis of primary EM was based on his medical history, clinical findings, and laboratory tests. The frequency, duration, and intensity of the pain episodes decreased after pregabalin therapy. Pregabalin seems to be a proper option in controlling the pain in erythromelalgia.
