Cross-over, open-label trial of the effects of gabapentin versus pregabalin on painful peripheral neuropathy and health-related quality of life in haemodialysis patients. Clin Drug Investig. (2013) 33(6):401–8. doi: 10.1007/s40261-013-0080-2 Gabapentin and pregabalin are FDA-approved to treat some of the same conditions, including postherpetic neuralgia in adults. Both drugs are also indicated to treat partial seizures in adults and certain children with epilepsy (a seizure disorder) when taken along with other medication. Several studies have evaluated the efficacy of gabapentin and pregabalin in the treatment of neuropathic pain, yielding contradictory results. On one hand, it has been observed that gabapentin is more effective, especially at higher doses, compared to pregabalin (8, 9). A, Arvinth, and Suganya E. "Comparison of efficacy of Gabapentin versus Pregabalin in patients of painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy – A randomized, open label, and parallel group study." National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology 12.11 (2022), 1901-1906. Lyrica (pregabalin) and gabapentin are both prescribed for partial onset seizures and nerve pain that occurs after shingles. Doctors also prescribe Lyrica for other uses. Lyrica is a In the treatment of neuropathic pain pregabalin has been shown in studies to provide equivalent efficacy to gabapentin, however, at much lower doses. The recent study of patients with neuropathic pain has shown that pregabalin can provide additional relief and improvement in quality of life in those who did not respond to gabapentin 5. Gabapentin and Lyrica are similar drugs, but they do have some differences. For example, both drugs come as a capsule or liquid solution that you swallow. But gabapentin also comes as a It is divided into central or peripheral NeP according to the site of the lesion. 3 NeP encompasses a range of clinical conditions: from peripheral NeP conditions such as peripheral diabetic neuropathy (PDN) to central NeP conditions, for example, central post-stroke pain. The particular NNTs for pregabalin and gabapentin were 7.71 and 7.16, respectively. 10 A more recent meta-analysis in 2022 specifically focused on post-herpetic neuralgia and found greater efficacy with pregabalin in alleviating pain and improving global perception of pain and sleep. 15 Another meta-analysis published in 2021 reported similar Pregabalin (Lyrica), gabapentin (Neurontin), amitriptyline (except in older adults), or duloxetine (Cymbalta) should be used as first-line treatment for painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy. A 1 Researchers publishing in JAMA Neurology describe the results of a unique trial in which 402 people with idiopathic sensory polyneuropathy were randomly assigned to one of four medications: duloxetine, mexiletine, nortriptyline, or pregabalin. Gabapentin is indicated as adjunct therapy for partial seizures and postherpetic neuralgia. 4 Pregabalin is indicated for the same uses as gabapentin, plus the management of fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain associated with diabetes, specifically diabetic neuropathy. 5 Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant with pain-relieving effects that may be used to treat certain seizure disorders or relieve nerve pain. Common side effects include dizziness or drowsiness and it may more. Lyrica can help relieve nerve pain and control seizures but it is likely to cause drowsiness. Gabapentin and pregabalin reduce the calcium-dependent neurotransmitters in the neuronal membrane, thus inhibiting the neuronal excitability.[15,16] Pregabalin, in contrast to gabapentin, has a higher bioavailability (90% vs. 33–66%), rapid absorption (peak: 1 h) with plasma concentration increasing linearly with increasing dose, which Pregabalin (Lyrica) and gabapentin (Neurontin and others) are drugs used to prevent seizures and to treat nerve pain associated with various conditions (shingles, diabetic neuropathy). Lyrica and gabapentin both cause similar side effects, including tremors, blurred or double vision, memory or concentration problems, dizziness, and drowsiness. Abstract Background. The anticonvulsants pregabalin and gabapentin are both indicated for the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain. The decision on which treatment provides the best alternative, should take into account all aspects of costs and outcomes associated with the two therapeutic options. Research supports the use of the anticonvulsants gabapentin (Gralise, Neurontin, Horizant) and pregabalin (Lyrica) to help relieve pain caused by damaged nerves. Both gabapentin and pregabalin are particularly effective in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy and pain caused by a spinal cord injury. Pregabalin (PGB) and gabapentin (GBP) are recommended as the first-line treatment for neuropathic pain due to SCI [18,19]. Both drugs have been shown to be effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain due to postherpetic neuralgia [20–26] and diabetic peripheral neuropathy [24–29]. Both Lyrica and gabapentin are used as anti-epileptic medications and to treat nerve pain. But there are several differences between them. The main differences between Lyrica and gabapentin are: Lyrica is a brand name for pregabalin. Gabapentin is a generic name - brands of gabapentin include Neurontin, Gralise, and Horizant.
