Preoperative gabapentin alone or in combination with dexamethasone on postoperative pain relief after abdominal hysterectomies. A randomized controlled trial
Conclusion Gabapentin alone reduced the intraoperative and postoperative opioid requirement as well as postoperative pain and PONV which was significant in comparison with the placebo effect in the control. Obviously these effects were more prominent and highly significant when dexamethasone was added to gabapentin.
