Protocol summary

Summary
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of preoperative administration of oral gabapentin on postoperative pain after surgery in the women undergoing general anesthesia for abdominal hysterectomy in Shahid Sadoughi hospital in Yazd, Iran. In this randomized double blind trial, 60 women, aged 40-60 years old, and ASA physical status I and II, were assigned into one of the following two groups to receive gabapentin, 100 microgram the night before and then 300 microgram 2 hours before surgery, orally in the intervention group or placebo in the control group. Pain was assessed through visual analog scale (VAS) at 1, 6, 12, and 24 hours after the surgery. In addition, the first request of the patient for analgesia, the amount of morphine consumed, and side effects of gabapentin (dizziness, blurred vision, tremor, ataxia, nistagmus, nausea, vomiting) were evaluated during 24 hours and compared between groups.
