To describe the risk for fall-related outcomes in older adults starting treatment with gabapentin versus duloxetine. New user, active comparator study using a target trial emulation framework . MarketScan (IBM) commercial claims between January 2014 and December 2021. Adults aged 65 years or older with diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, or fibromyalgia and without depression, anxiety, seizures, or cancer in the 365 days before cohort entry.

Effects of sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on the pharmacokinetics of gabapentin and pregabalin: A cohort study. Bariatric surgery may affect the pharmacokinetics of medications by altering the gastrointestinal physiology. Pharmacokinetic changes of first-line neuropathic pain medications such as gabapentin and pregabalin following bariatric treatment have barely been investigated. In our prospective five-case study we included gabapentin- or pregabalin-treated patients undergoing bariatric surgery at hospitals in Central Norway. Concentrations of gabapentin and pregabalin were assessed using serial blood samples over a dose interval, preoperatively and one, six and twelve months postoperatively. The primary outcomes of the study included changes in area under the time

Gabapentin for Alcohol Use Disorder: Decrease pints with a pill? November 30, 2020 Gabapentin for Alcohol Use Disorder: Decrease pints with a pill? Clinical Question: Is gabapentin effective in treating alcohol use disorder (AUD)? Bottom Line: More patients on gabapentin (27%) could avoid heavy drinking days (example >5 standard drinks/day) compared to those on placebo (9%). There is mixed evidence for gabapentin and abstinence. Gabapentin may be considered as a second-line option (off-label) for AUD (after acamprosate or naltrexone). Concerns regarding abuse/misuse and drug related harms should inform therapeutic discussion. Evidence: • Results statistically significant unless noted. o Systematic review, 7 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), 3-26

Association of adverse cardiovascular events with gabapentin and pregabalin among patients with fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia, a chronic pain disorder, impacts approximately 2% of adults in the US. Gabapentin and pregabalin are common treatments to manage fibromyalgia-related pain. Our recent study showed the risk of adverse cardiovascular events increased in diabetic neuropathy patients who were prescribed gabapentin or pregabalin. Here, we investigated whether the prescription of gabapentin or pregabalin has similar cardiovascular risk in patients with fibromyalgia. This retrospective cohort study leveraged electronic health records from 64 US healthcare organizations with 112 million patients. The study population included 105,602 patients first diagnosed with fibromyalgia and followed
Pilot RCT comparing low-dose naltrexone, gabapentin and placebo to reduce pain among people with HIV with alcohol problems. To estimate the effects on pain of two medications (low-dose naltrexone and gabapentin) compared to placebo among people with HIV (PWH) with heavy alcohol use and chronic pain. We conducted a pilot, randomized, double-blinded, 3-arm study of PWH with chronic pain and past -year heavy alcohol use in 2021. Participants were recruited in St. Petersburg, Russia, and randomized to receive daily low-dose naltrexone (4.5mg), gabapentin (up to 1800mg), or placebo. The two primary outcomes were change in self-reported pain severity and pain interference measured with the Brief Pain Inventory from baseline to 8 weeks. Participants (N = 45, 15 in each arm) had the following
Trazodone-gabapentin association increases sedation scores with mild hemodynamic and echocardiographic impact in healthy cats. Despite the increasing use of drugs to facilitate feline management in veterinary care, there is still a lack of information on the anxiolytic and sedative effects and their specific physiological impacts. We aimed to compare the sedative, hematological, biochemical and cardiovascular effects of oral single-dose trazodone and gabapentin, alone or in combination, in 8 healthy adult mixed-breed domestic cats on a prospective, randomized, cross-over, and placebo-controlled study. Cats were assigned to receive an oral single dose of trazodone (50 mg) (TG), gabapentin (100 mg) (GG), trazodone (50 mg) and gabapentin (100 mg) (GTG), or placebo (PG). Sedation score, physiological
A Placebo-Controlled Randomized Trial Comparing Oral Midazolam, Dexmedetomidine, and Gabapentin on Prophylaxis of Emergence Agitation After Sevoflurane Anesthesia in Adenotonsillectomy. Sevoflurane causes emergence agitation (EA) in up to 80% of pediatric patients. Using midazolam, dexmedetomidine (DEX), and gabapentin, this work aimed to assess the prophylactic effect of oral premedication in the form an apple-flavored sugary fluid plus 0.5 mg/kg of midazolam in Group M, 4 µg/kg of DEX in Group D, 10 mg/kg of gabapentin in Group G, or no drugs whatsoever in Group P (placebo). The incidence of EA was reduced more greatly in the M, D, and G groups than in the P group, and the D group's incidence of EA was lower than that of the M or G groups. The severity of EA exhibited a more significant
Management of Chronic Post-Endodontic Pain with a Standardized Gabapentin Pyramid Protocol: A Case Series and Clinical Guidelines. Persistent post-endodontic pain following endodontic therapy is a rare but substantial clinical challenge. Mechanisms that mediate peripheral neuropathy and/or central sensitization likely play a pivotal role in its development and chronification. The objective of this case series is to describe a management plan for persistent post-endodontic pain and provide prescription guidelines using a standardized "Gabapentin Pyramid Protocol" for clinical practice. Four cases of persistent post-endodontic pain are presented. A peripheral etiology for pain was eliminated in all four cases. All patients were also refractory to conventional analgesics. Patients received
"The effect of intramuscular dexmedetomidine versus oral gabapentin premedication on the emergence agitation after rhinoplasty". A prospective, randomized, double-blind controlled trial. Emergence agitation EA is a state of confusion and harmful aggressiveness during recovery. It is a common complication after rhinoplasty, with risk of trauma, bleeding, and hemodynamic instability . Dexmedetomidine and gabapentin premedication could improve the quality of recovery after rhinoplasty. One hundred fifty-three participants (ASA I-II, both sexes and age 18-40 years) scheduled for rhinoplasty were randomized into three groups. Group C didn't receive premedication, Group D received intramuscular (IM) dexmedetomidine, and Group G received oral gabapentin. The degree of EA by Riker sedation
