| Official Title ICMJE | Comparative Effects of Single Dose Preemptive Gabapentin or Amitriptyline on Postoperative Pain and Opioid Consumption in Single Level Lumbar Laminectomy and Diskectomy: A Double Blind RCT With Placebo Control | ||||||||
| Brief Summary | The hypothesis of this study is that Gabapentin or Amitriptyline has no role in preemptive analgesia to reduce postoperative pain after lumbar diskectomies. |
||||||||
| Detailed Description | Pain suppression plays a decisive role in patients' satisfaction following lumbar diskectomies, as the psychological component of the pain is a major cause of treatment failure. Controversy exists whether preemptive prescription of gabapentin, as a known contributor to reduce postoperative pain, has a role in patients undergoing laminectomy for lumbar diskectomy or spinal canal stenosis.The aim of this study is to test the efficacy of amitriptyline and gabapentin in this group of neurosurgical patients. |
