The Effectiveness and Safety of Gabapentin for Post-operative Pain After Cesarean Section
RandomizedParallel-groupQuadruple-blindTreatment
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a single dose of gabapentin, given before cesarean section, will reduce pain in the initial 24 hours after surgery. Gabapentin has been very effective at treating pain after knee and hip operations, hysterectomies, and many other types of surgeries. We believe that it may be effective for treating pain after cesarean sections, but it has never been studied for this purpose.
