Chronic neuropathic pain (NP) is debilitating and impacts sleep health and quality of life. Treatment with gabapentinoids (GBs) has been shown to reduce pain, but its effects on sleep health have not been systematically evaluated. Introduction. Sleep disorders have been always a disturbing public health issue, not only because they affect quality of life, increase the patient’s risk of cardio-cerebrovascular disease (1, 2) and death (2, 3), weaken social productivity, and increase medical burdens (4, 5) but also because unlike other diseases with a phase-wise pattern, they cannot be cured using multiphase treatment. Results: Demographics were comparable among groups. Among PSG endpoints, wake after sleep onset (primary endpoint) (135.7 [placebo], 100.7 [250 mg], and 73.2 [500 mg] min) was significantly lower and total sleep time (TST) (311.4, 356.5, and 378.7 min) significantly greater in both gabapentin groups versus placebo. Some research shows gabapentin may be effective for sleep. But it comes with risks, including dizziness, falls, and fluid buildup. Gabapentin is a controlled substance in some states. It can lead to dependence and misuse. It’s best to avoid taking gabapentin with other medications that cause drowsiness, like opioids and benzodiazepines. Some studies have found that gabapentin may increase slow-wave sleep, also known as deep sleep, which is crucial for physical restoration and cognitive function. Additionally, it may reduce sleep fragmentation, leading to fewer nighttime awakenings and improved sleep continuity. Gabapentin appears to have a multifaceted impact on this sleep structure, potentially enhancing certain aspects of sleep quality. Research suggests that gabapentin may increase slow-wave sleep, also known as deep sleep, which is crucial for physical recovery and memory consolidation. Can gabapentin help you sleep? Yes, it can. As reported in a small study that was published in the March-April 2010 edition of the journal Clinical Neuropharmacology, “Gabapentin enhances slow-wave sleep in patients with primary insomnia. It also improves sleep quality by elevating sleep efficiency and decreasing spontaneous arousal.” Preliminary evidence indicates that gabapentin can attenuate insomnia, bolster sleep quality, and increase total sleep duration. Moreover, gabapentin has been shown to increase slow-wave sleep (SWS), promote sleep maintenance, and decrease unwanted awakenings throughout the night. Most studies show that gabapentin improves slow wave sleep (“deep sleep”) and total sleep time. Two small studies showed that gabapentin may help people with primary insomnia and occasional sleep disturbance improve total sleep time and wakefulness in the morning. Gabapentin enhances slow-wave sleep in patients with primary insomnia. It also improves sleep quality by elevating sleep efficiency and decreasing spontaneous arousal. The results suggest that gabapentin may be beneficial in the treatment of primary insomnia. The ongoing investigation into the effects of gabapentin on sleep architecture, respiratory function, and overall sleep quality in the context of sleep apnea will undoubtedly contribute to our understanding of how to best manage these complex cases. Gabapentin’s ability to modulate nerve signaling may help alleviate the uncomfortable sensations associated with RLS and reduce the frequency of limb movements during sleep. Furthermore, some patients report improvements in overall sleep quality when taking gabapentin. Study Objectives:To evaluate the effects of single doses of gabapentin 250 and 500 mg on polysomnographic (PSG) and participant-reported sleep measures in a 5-h phase advance insomnia model.Methods:Adults reporting occasional disturbed sleep received With just a single dose of gabapentin, someone suffering from insomnia will find it easier to get to sleep and stay asleep. How Does Gabapentin Change Your Sleep? Gabapentin is considered highly effective for the treatment of insomnia for a few reasons. First and foremost, it improves sleep quality by reducing spontaneous arousal in the brain. Gabapentin is a prescription drug used to treat insomnia. Studies show it can increase the amount of deep sleep you get at night and improve your sleep quality. Neuropathic pain is associated with sleep disturbances, and in turn poor sleep quality leads to increased pain sensitivity, so it is essential to assess sleep alongside neuropathic pain. Responses to drugs are inconsistent and identifying the best This study is the first to systematically assess the clinical value of gabapentin for the treatment of sleep disorders. We found that regardless the type of sleep outcomes, gabapentin displayed stable treatment efficacy for sleep disturbance in patients with medical illness. Some patients report improved sleep quality when taking gabapentin, while others experience disrupted sleep patterns. This variability in response underscores the importance of individualized treatment approaches. Gabapentin for Sleep: Effectiveness, Dosage, and Considerations has become a topic of increasing interest in the medical community Gabapentin is safe and effective in improving the sleep quality of patients with sensory nervous-system diseases. Due to the limitations of sample size and types of diseases in the current study, the field needs multicenter, large-sample, and high-quality RCTs for further validation in the future.
