Opioids, Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Cyclooxygenase inhibitors, and many local anesthetic techniques have been used, but every approach has their own side effects and limitations. Recent works have shown that gabapentin may have an opioidsparing effect and anxiolytic property, without any respiratory depression, gastrointestinal, hematological, renal and hepatic adverse effects. We conducted this study to assess the efficacy of a single dose oral gabapentin as pre-emptive analgesia in comparison to placebo for postoperative pain control in adult subjects undergoing vaginal hysterectomy under spinal anesthesia. Material & Methods: This randomised double-blind study was conducted in 100 ASA grade I and II patients of age 40-60 years posted for abdominal hysterectomy. Patients were divided into two groups of 50 each. Group G received 600mg oral gabapentin 1 hour before vaginal hysterectomy and Group C received placebo. Total abdominal hysterectomy was carried out under spinal anesthesia. Pulse rate, SBP, DBP, and SpO2 over a 24-hour period, Total tramadol consumption, sedation scores, incidence of nausea and vomiting and other adverse effects were noted. Data was analysed with SPSS version 23 using appropriate statistical tests. Results: There were significantly lower pain scores and reduced analgesic requirements in gabapentin group over a 24-hour period. There was better hemodynamic stability in the gabapentin group. Incidence of nausea, vomiting, and adverse events was higher in patients of gabapentin group, although not significant statistically. Conclusion: Gabapentin used a pre-emptive analgesic, reduces post-operative analgesic requirements.
