Factors Influencing Duration of Gabapentin Use Several factors come into play when determining how long gabapentin should be taken after surgery. First off, the type and extent of the surgical procedure significantly influence recovery time and pain levels. However, perioperative gabapentin had a significant effect on promoting opioid cessation after surgery. MeaningSeventy-two hours of perioperative gabapentin use may promote opioid cessation after surgery and decrease the duration of postoperative opioid use. M, et al. 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. Bja Br J Anaes The knee flexion degree and treatment side effects were also compiled to evaluate the safety of gabapentin. After testing for the heterogeneity and publication bias among studies, data were aggregated for random-effects modeling when necessary. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. Given the high incidence of adverse events associated with opioid medications, this meta-analysis examined the use of preoperative gabapentin and its impact on postoperative opioid consumption and opioid use after surgery and the incidence of vomiting, somnolence, and nausea. Materials and methods Study selection 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 This cohort study examines whether perioperative gabapentin use among older adults after major surgery is associated with in-hospital adverse clinical events. Conclusion Gabapentin, pregabalin, and duloxetine have potential to further decrease post-operative pain and lower opioid dependency. This review creates an opening for further research in hand surgery to assess an updated protocol for pain management to reduce opioid dependency. Gabapentinoid (GABA) prescribing has substantially increased as a nonopioid analgesics for surgical conditions. We examined the effectiveness of GABA use for postoperative pain control among patients receiving total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Would you want to take Lyrica (pregabalin) or Neurontin (gabapentin) for pain relief after a major surgery? Both drugs belong to a class of nerve medication called gabapentinoids that are increasingly being prescribed to patients perioperatively (after surgery) as an alternative to opioid medication. Gabapentin may be prescribed either before or after surgery to help with postsurgical pain. However, it should be used with caution due to the high risk of abuse. Pain management after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) varies and has been widely studied in recent years. Some randomized controlled studies have carried out to evaluate the effects of gabapentin on pain relief after TKA. However, no solid result was A study of laparoscopic cholecystectomy included in the analysis used a dose of 300 mg. They found that gabapentin resulted in a 35% reduction in total analgesic consumption in the first 24 hours following surgery. Gabapentin also resulted in 27% to 39% reduction in visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores in the first 24 hours postoperatively. 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 for both), and less pruritus (P <0.05) than placebo Outcomes and Data Analyses The primary outcome is prolonged use of gabapentin in the postoperative period, defined as a prescription refilled at 90-180 days after discharge from surgery, a time period based on definitions of prolonged use of opioids after surgical procedures. 20, 25, 26 We calculated the days’ supply and average daily dose. Despite the use of new drugs and delivery modalities, studies have shown that acute postoperative pain continues to be undermanaged (1, 2). Approximately three of four patients experience acute pain after surgery, and 80% of these have moderate to extreme pain. Opioid analgesics are the cornerstone of pharmacological postoperative pain management (3), although they also contribute to increased For example, a gabapentin dose of 1.2 grams per day 1 hour before surgery and for 2 days after CABG surgery showed that postoperative pain scores at 1, 2, and 3 days as well as the consumption of tramadol given as a rescue analgesic were significantly lower in the gabapentin group when compared to the placebo group [41]. Early studies suggested gabapentin provided opioid-sparing effects and decreased postoperative pain with minimal side effects (Kharasch et al., 2020). Its use was adopted as part of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocols (ERAS) in many surgical specialties, including total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Abstract Purpose of review: Gabapentinoid use has increased substantially in the past several years after initial promising data with regard to acute perioperative pain control. The purpose of this review is to critically appraise the evidence for the use of gabapentinoids for acute pain management and its impact on the development of chronic pain after surgery.
