The key words and medical subject heading terms included the following: gabapentin, pain control, total knee arthroplasty, total knee replacement, TKA, and TKR. These key words and the corresponding medical subject heading terms were combined with the Boolean operators AND and OR. Neurontin (gabapentin), generally prescribed for the treatment of nerve pain, is sometimes used to relieve severe pain caused by knee osteoarthritis (OA). Osteoarthritis, also known, as wear-and-tear arthritis, can often become so severe that joint replacement surgery is needed. Postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) influence patients’ rehabilitation and life quality. Although gabapentin has been widely used for analgesia, its efficacy is still controversial in TKA and THA. Gabapentin is routinely used in preoperative multimodal anesthesia to reduce pain following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) surgery. Evolving evidence has shown it is ineffective in reducing postoperative pain and should be used cautiously in this patient population due to its adverse effects. demonstrated a favorable reduction in pain scores evaluated pregabalin for treatment of pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA) while the other study evaluated total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. The literature search was conducted by following databases: Medline, Cochrane database, ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, and Embase. The following keywords including pain management, postoperative pain, total knee arthroplasties, total knee replacement, and gabapentin were used for searching. 1. Inclusion criteria. Studies were considered eligible I did end up having a knee replacement in my right knee due to so much arthritis. I take take 600mg or 900mg of Gabapentin at bedtime need it helps with my knees even after replacement. It also helps some with my lower back pain. It doesn't help everyone though but that is kinda like any medication. What works for me may not work for you. A follow up study published by Clarke et al., in 2014 53 found that there was lower pain experienced in both 600 mg gabapentin and 200 mg gabapentin groups, compared to placebo, in the first 24 h post TKR, with all other considerations otherwise standardised. analgesia, has gained wide acceptance as a means of controlling pain after TKR. Most multimodal pain protocols currently include some combination of anti-in ammatories, nonnarcotic medica-fl tions, and limited narcotic use. Perhaps the most important component of a multimodal pain protocol is the use of local in l-fi trative analgesia (LIA). The occurrence of severe knee pain, generally caused by osteoarthritis, has been increasing because of the aging population and an increase in pro-inflammatory conditions, such as obesity. Symptomatic knee pain represents a burden for modern healthcare systems. Gabapentin (Neurontin) or pregabalin (Lyrica): These are medications that specifically treat certain seizures and nerve pain. However, doctors may prescribe them before your surgery to reduce Total knee replacement is acknowledged as a successful and durable operation, but recovery from this surgery is often lengthy and painful. A great deal of attention has recently been directed at enhancing this recovery, most of which has focused on improvements in perioperative pain control. Various protocols have been suggested. Perioperative gabapentin may reduce the incidence and intensity of postoperative pain up to 6 months after otolaryngology, orthopedic, mastectomy, and abdominal/pelvic operations. 12-15 Professional guidelines advocate for perioperative administration of gabapentin as a component of multimodal analgesia, 16 but its efficacy in the context of We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. The following medical subject heading terms, keywords, and their combinations were used: “postoperative pain, total hip arthroplasty, total knee arthroplasty, total hip replacement, total knee replacement and gabapentin”. No restrictions were imposed on language or geographic location. Inclusion and exclusion criteria Pain management after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) varies and has been widely studied in recent years. Some randomized controlled studies have carried out to evaluate the effects of gabapentin on pain relief after TKA. Based on the current meta-analysis, gabapentin exerts an analgesic and opioid-sparing effect in acute postoperative pain management without increasing the rate of dizziness and pruritus. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common surgeries performed on patients with osteoarthritis or rheumatic arthritis of the knee.
