Abstract :
Background
Pain is subjective unpleasant experience with psychosomatic problems. Many modalities for pain relief have been implemented. Gabapentin modulates both central and peripheral nociceptive responses.
Method
60 adult patients of either gender were divided into two groups of 30 each with group G receiving 600 mg of gabapentin and Group P matched placebo orally 2 hours prior to surgery. Postoperative analgesia was judged by using VAS score. When VAS score was >3 Inj. Diclofenac 75mg was given intravenously.
Results
VAS scores were significantly lower on first postoperative day in gabapentin group as compared to placebo group (P < 0.01).
Conclusion
Pre–emptive administration of 600 mg of gabapentin results in significant reduction in the requirement of analgesics in immediate post operative period.
