Abstract Purpose of review: Gabapentinoids are frequently used in the management of cancer pain. In recent Cochrane systematic reviews, although there was an abundance of evidence relating to non-cancer pain, only a few studies related to cancer pain. This review summarizes recent randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the use of gabapentinoids for tumour-related (as monotherapy or Gabapentin has been studied for its effect in patients with cancer who have neuropathic pain or symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. The drug changes the way the body senses pain. It has also been studied for its effect on anxiety, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and hot flashes. Overall, GBP seems to have significant benefit in neuropathic and non-neuropathic pain associated with the perioperative period and cancer. Considering its favorable side effect profile, GBP represents a beneficial pain adjunctive therapy, beyond neuropathic symptoms. Abstract Background: Gabapentin has been evaluated in the treatment of nonmalignant neuropathic pain, however, there is little direct evidence evaluating its efficacy in cancer-related neuropathic pain. Michigan Medicine research finds one narcotic alternative prescription had a two-fold increase despite unclear evidence of benefit for cancer pain. Gabapentin is effective in improving analgesia in patients with neuropathic cancer pain already treated with opioids. Their discovery, published today in JAMA Network Open, suggests that a prophylactic, or preventative, gabapentin dose of 3600 mg daily can delay or eliminate the need for opioids to manage the pain associated with radiation-induced oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer. If nerves are injured by trauma (including surgery and radiation), infection, nerve compression by tumor, or chemotherapy damage, gabapentin can often help to relieve the associated pain. The main aim of this study was to determine whether gabapentin, a common adjuvant analgesic in current use against cancer-associated neuropathic pain, would affect tumour development and progression in vivo. The Dunning rat model of prostate cancer was used. Purpose To determine the analgesic effect of the addition of gabapentin to opioids in the management of neuropathic cancer pain. Patients and Methods One hundred twenty-one consecutive patients with neuropathic pain due to cancer, partially controlled Pain is an unfortunate but highly prevalent burden associated with cancer in veterinary patients. The mechanisms by which cancer can cause pain are numerous but generally include direct tumor effects such as tissue damage, compression, or invasion by neoplastic growth; and indirect effects caused by paraneoplastic mediators (such as in hypertrophic osteopathy). In addition to these direct or High doses of gabapentin were associated with pancreatic acinar cell tumors in male Wistar rats, but there is little published epidemiological data regarding gabapentin and carcinogenicity. We explored the association between gabapentin and cancer Gabapentin is an antipain that is often used in patients with cancer pain, especially neuropathic cancer pain. 10 However, research that discusses further on the effectiveness of gabapentin for the management of patients with BTcP is still very limited. More than 30% of cancer patients experience neuropathic pain. Opioids, as standard pain-relief agents, cannot achieve satisfactory outcomes to treat neuropathic cancer pain due to drug resistance and side effects. Meanwhile, gabapentin, a Given the significant benefits of gabapentin and the combination of gabapentin with opioids for the treatment of neuropathic pain, randomized clinical trials are needed to establish the role of these analgesic regimens for the treatment of neuropathic cancer pain. In the context of cancer, gabapentin is often used to manage cancer-related pain, particularly neuropathic pain. This type of pain can result from the cancer itself or as a side effect of treatments like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery. The pain intensity of cancer patients after a combined treatment of gabapentin and opioids was significantly lower than that of patients receiving opioids alone. Conclusions: Our meta-analysis showed that gabapentin combined with opioids effectively alleviated neuropathic cancer pain compared with that of opioids alone. Abstract Purpose This review was designed to compile the currently available evidence on the prophylactic use of gabapentin in the head and neck cancer patient population. Methods A systematic search was conducted of PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar to identify articles related to the use of prophylactic gabapentin in patients undergoing head and neck cancer therapy. Candidate Gabapentin is one of the most effective treatments for managing patients with neuropathic cancer pain, particularly those who have already been treated with opioids, as well as patients and survivors who have experienced undertreatment. Methods We present the cases of four patients who were effectively treated with gabapentinoids for refractory rectal/vesical tenesmus induced by malignant tumors. Therefore, patients who were effectively treated with pregabalin or gabapentin for rectal and vesical tenesmus after ineffective treatment with opioids at the National Cancer Center Hospital between April 2009 and March 2014 were
