There are increasing concerns regarding the abusive potential of gabapentinoids putting at risk patients with neuropathic pain requiring long-term pain management. The evidence to support this is rather inconcusive. This systematic review aimed to Gabapentin is commonly used to treat neuropathic pain (pain due to nerve damage). This review updates a review published in 2014, and previous reviews published in 2011, 2005 and 2000. To assess the analgesic efficacy and adverse effects of We reviewed the published comparative effectiveness literature for gabapentinoids for pain as well as all trials (published and unpublished) used by the FDA for the approval of the five pain indications for these agents (one for gabapentin, four for pregabalin). The gabapentinoids are often recommended as first-line treatments for the management of neuropathic pain.

Results of our review are in contrast with nonrandomized studies that have shown benefit with PG in patients of CLBP [36, 37]. The gabapentinoids are often recommended as first-line treatments for the management of neuropathic pain.
