Knee replacement surgery replaces a damaged knee with an artificial joint. After, you will need various medications to manage pain and prevent complications. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. Background: Postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) influence patients' rehabilitation and life quality. Although gabapentin has been widely used for analgesia, its efficacy is still controversial in TKA and THA. This meta-analysis was performed to assess the efficacy and safety of gabapentin following TKA and THA. Method: Electronic databases Gabapentin, a drug traditionally used for the relief of neuropathic pain, was compared in variable doses to placebo in relieving postoperative pain. Gabapentin resulted in less total patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) morphine use over 48 hours postoperatively (P <0.05), better active knee flexion on postoperative days (PODs) 2 and 3 (P <0.05 New FDA-approved tools such as cryoanalgesia, sodium-channel blockers, and stimulators are transforming acute pain care and enabling faster, opioid-free recovery, reports Dr Gary Schwartz. Pain remains one of the most limiting factors of a patient's recovery post-orthopaedic surgery. In particular, in those undergoing total knee replacements (TKRs), poorly-controlled pain often prevents full engagement with post-operative rehabilitation programs and can markedly delay return-to-function. Pain endured after surgery is, in most instances, predictable and self-limiting, and Background: Postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) influence patients' rehabilitation and life quality. Although gabapentin has been widely used for analgesia, its efficacy is still controversial in TKA and THA. This meta-analysis was performed to assess the efficacy and safety of gabapentin following TKA and THA. Method: Electronic databases The efficacy of perioperative gabapentin for the treatment of postoperative pain following total knee and hip arthroplasty: a meta-analysis Background: Postoperative pain remains a significant challenge after knee and hip surgeries, two of the most frequently performed procedures, preventing patients from seeking timely surgical help. Gabapentinoids, gabapentin, and pregabalin, have Total knee replacement is acknowledged as a successful and durable operation, but recovery from this surgery is often lengthy and painful. A great deal of attention has recently been directed at enhancing this recovery, most of which has focused on improvements in perioperative pain control. Various pro-tocols have been suggested. This article discusses a pain management program that uses Perioperative gabapentin reduces 24 h opioid consumption and improves in-hospital rehabilitation but not post-discharge outcomes after total knee arthroplasty with peripheral nerve block Perioperative gabapentin reduces 24 h opioid consumption and improves in-hospital rehabilitation but not post-discharge outcomes after total knee arthroplasty with peripheral nerve block The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gabapentin versus placebo for pain control after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In December 2015, The following keywords including pain management, postoperative pain, total knee arthroplasties, total knee replacement, and gabapentin were used for searching. 1. Inclusion criteria. Studies were considered eligible for inclusion if they met the following criteria: Study design: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with placebo report in English. 4] Clarke H, Katz J, McCartney C, Stratford P, Kennedy D, Pa M, et al.

Background Postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) influence patients’ rehabilitation and life quality. Although gabapentin has been widely used for analgesia, its efficacy is still controversial in TKA and THA. This meta-analysis was performed to assess the efficacy and safety of gabapentin following TKA and THA. Method Electronic databases Gabapentin is routinely used in preoperative multimodal anesthesia to reduce pain following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) surgery. Evolving evidence has shown it is ineffective The key words and medical subject heading terms included the following: gabapentin, pain control, total knee arthroplasty, total knee replacement, TKA, and TKR. These key words and the corresponding medical subject heading terms were combined with the Boolean operators AND and OR. This randomized clinical trial evaluates the effects of perioperative administration of gabapentin on postoperative pain resolution and time to cessation of opioid use.
