Current levetiracetam monotherapy showed a very high risk of ischaemic stroke [(ORadj 5.1, CI95 % 3.7–6.9)]. Drugs used for other conditions than epilepsy (pregabalin, gabapentin) were the most used AED and both did not show a risk. Levetiracetam shows a risk for stroke even when assessed in current monotherapy. Gabapentin, traditionally used to control seizures and reduce nerve pain, has shown promise in enhancing stroke recovery 1 2. A study conducted by Ohio State University revealed that daily Gabapentin treatment for six weeks post-stroke restored fine motor functions in mice 1 2 . We systematically summarize the preclinical and clinical research on gabapentinoids in stroke, including ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, seizures after stroke, cortical spreading depolarization after stroke, pain after stroke, and nerve regeneration after stroke. We systematically summarize the preclinical and clinical research on gabapentinoids in stroke, including ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, seizures after stroke, cortical spreading depolarization after stroke, pain after stroke, and nerve regeneration after stroke. The drug gabapentin, currently prescribed to control seizures and reduce nerve pain, may enhance recovery of movement after a stroke by helping neurons on the undamaged side of the brain take up the signaling work of lost cells, new research in mice suggests.The experiments mimicked ischemic stroke in humans, which occurs when a clot blocks bloo The drug gabapentin, currently prescribed to control seizures and reduce nerve pain, may enhance recovery of movement after a stroke by helping neurons on the undamaged side of the brain take up the signaling work of lost cells, new research in mice suggests. Dr. Tedeschi is the corresponding author of a new study in mice that investigates the use of an existing drug to help the brain repair itself after an ischemic stroke. Scientists at the Ohio State University report that gabapentin, currently prescribed to control seizures and reduce nerve pain, may enhance recovery of movement after a stroke by helping neurons In a rat model, gabapentin promoted recovery after stroke, unleashing plasticity in the corticospinal tract to improve motor function. Independent experts said the finding is promising for potential clinical applications in the future. A study evaluating data from Statistics Sweden showed that gabapentin and pregabalin were the most commonly used antiepileptic drugs among patients who underwent stroke after stratification by the diagnosis of neuropathic pain (Karlsson Lind and von Euler, 2021). Gabapentin has been found to enhance recovery of movement after a stroke by helping neurons on the undamaged side of the brain take up the signalling work of lost cells. In mice, daily gabapentin treatment for six weeks after a stroke restored fine motor functions in the animals' upper extremities. Thalamic pain syndrome, a type of central post-stroke pain (CPSP), may develops after a hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke and results in impairment of the thalamus. There is limited experience about gabapentin in treatment of central pains like CPSP. Ohio State scientists have discovered that an already approved and widely prescribed drug, called gabapentin, may help the brain repair itself after a stroke. Gabapentin is currently used to control seizures and help manage nerve pain, but in mice with blood clot-induced strokes, the drug helped the animals regain fine motor control in their Can gabapentin be used to treat stroke? Gabapentin has been shown to enhance recovery of movement after a stroke by helping neurons on the undamaged side of the brain take up the signalling work of lost cells. Gabapentin is often prescribed to stroke patients to alleviate post-stroke pain and improve recovery. Learn about its benefits, dosage guidelines, and potential side effects. Gabapentin is commonly used to treat and prevent seizures in people with epilepsy or to treat nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia) that can occur after a viral infection called shingles. Here, we report that daily administration of gabapentin, a clinically approved drug already used to treat various neurological disorders, promotes structural and functional plasticity of the corticospinal pathway after photothrombotic cortical stroke in adult mice. New research in mice led by Andrea Tedeschi, PhD, assistant professor of Neuroscience at The Ohio State University College of Medicine shows the drug gabapentin currently prescribed to control seizures and reduce nerve pain, may enhance recovery of movement after a stroke. Gabapentin's effect on neurons. Gabapentin is a medication used to treat epilepsy, post-herpetic neuralgia, neuropathic pain, and spasticity. It is a structural analogue of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter, and is thought to work by affecting calcium channels, leading to a decrease in excitatory neurotransmitters. The drug gabapentin, currently prescribed to control seizures and reduce nerve pain, may enhance recovery of movement after a stroke by helping neurons on the undamaged side of the brain take up
