Are Off-Label Gabapentinoids Useful for Post-Operative Pain Relief?

PainRelief.com: What should readers take away from your report?

Response: We observed no clinically meaningful analgesic effect for the perioperative use of gabapentinoids and an increased risk of adverse events. Our results do not support the routine use of gabapentin or pregabalin for the management of postoperative pain in adult patients.

PainRelief.com: What recommendations do you have for future research as a result of this work?

Response: Based on the results of our trial sequential analysis, additional trials evaluating the effect gabapentinoids on postoperative acute pain intensity are not further required.

Nothing to disclose.
