Group G received 600 mg of oral gabapentin one hour before surgery, while group C received an oral placebo tablet one hour before surgery. The primary outcome was the severity of postoperative pain (visual analog scale 0 to 10 cm) was conducted at 0, 6, and 12h. Patients will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive either gabapentin (600 mg just before surgery and 600 mg/day for 2 days after surgery) or placebo in addition to usual pain management for each type of surgery. Before surgery, 15 studies prescribed a single dose (300 mg to 1200 mg) and three studies prescribed repeated doses. Following surgery, only four studies prescribed repeated doses, varying from 1200 mg once daily for two days to 400 mg three times a day for 10 days. Conclusion: Gabapentin 600 mg administered 1 hr before laparoscopic abdominal surgery is as efective as gabapentin 900 mg for PONV control and VAS reduction of 24-hour post-operative pain scores with fewer side efects. On the other hand, gabapentin 300 mg did not demonstrate good control of PONV, or pain control compared to higher doses. Consider the following when using gabapentinoids in the perioperative period The evidence supports the use of gabapentinoids in the perioperative period. A typical dose range for perioperative gabapentin is 200-300 mg and 25-50 mg for pregabalin. Given the opioid-sparing effect of gabapentinoids, lower doses of perioperative narcotics may be used. These findings suggest that gabapentin 900 mg per day before spine surgery is associated with the lowest VAS pain score among all dosages. In addition, no differences in adverse events were noted among all treatments. We found that a 600 mg dose of gabapentin given 1 hour before surgery is as effective as a 900 mg dose in PONV control and postoperative pain with lower side effects, but we suggest a multicenter study to validate and address the dilemma of different doses. Our study focused on patients undergoing spine surgery and found that gabapentin 900 mg per day before spine surgery was associated with the lowest VAS pain score among all dosages, and no differences in adverse events were noted among all treatments. There was no advantage found in raising the dose from 600 mg to 1200 mg. They concluded 600 mg was the optimal dose for pre-operative gabapentin administration. In 2006, Ho et al. performed a review of 16 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the use of preoperative gabapentin in controlling postoperative pain (3). SUMMARY Gabapentin (NeurontinTM) has gained significant interest as part of a multi-modal pain management strategy for the control of acute pain. There has been considerable variation in both the dose and the regimen used in recent clinical trials. Most have relied on pre-operative dosing and have utilized a single dose of 300 to 1200 mg. Higher doses seem to show a decrease in postoperative The results from this study demonstrate that gabapentin is more beneficial in mastectomy and spinal, abdominal, and thyroid surgeries. Gabapentin is an effective analgesic adjunct, and clinicians should consider its use in multimodal treatment plans among patients undergoing elective surgery. Understanding whether you can take gabapentin the night before surgery is crucial for ensuring safe and effective pain management. Gabapentin is often used to reduce postoperative pain and minimize the need for opioids. In a clinical trial by Pandey et al., 100 patients were randomly divided into five groups to receive placebo or gabapentin 300, 600, 900, or 1200 mg, two hours before lumbar discectomy surgery. 23 They found that patients receiving 300 mg of gabapentin had significantly lower VAS pain scores at all time points compared to placebo and those Please make sure to fill and pick up all your prescriptions before the day of your scheduled surgery. You will have (5) prescriptions in total: 1. Gabapentin/Neurontin 300 mg (nerve pain control) 2. Scopolamine Patch (nausea/vomiting) 3. Percocet (pain control) 4. Keflex (antibiotic) 5. Ativan (anxiety/sleep) Turan et al. investigated the effects of gabapentin on acute postoperative pain and on morphine consumption in patients undergoing spinal surgery where 1,200 mg gabapentin was given 1 hour before surgery. The results showed that higher doses of gabapentin (900-1500 mg) more effectively reduced pain and opioid use after surgery 6. Buvanendran et al. administered either placebo or 300 mg pregabalin to patients before their knee replacement surgeries. It is essential to consult your healthcare provider before taking Gabapentin prior to surgery. They can guide you on the appropriateness of the medication based on your specific health needs and surgical procedure. In a clinical trial by Pandey et al., 100 patients were randomly divided into five groups to receive placebo or gabapentin 300, 600, 900, or 1200 mg, two hours before lumbar discectomy surgery. 23 They found that patients receiving 300 mg of gabapentin had significantly lower VAS pain scores at all time points compared to placebo and those The patients received gabapentin (600 mg, orally) the night before surgery and 2 hours before anesthesia induction in the gabapentin group, and patients received vitamin B in the placebo group. The primary outcome was the postoperative pain score on movement at 24 hours.
