This article aims to review and compare the efficacy of two different doses of gabapentin, 100 mg and 300 mg, in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. The findings of this review may provide valuable insights for clinicians in selecting the appropriate dosage of gabapentin, balancing the need for pain relief with the potential for adverse Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a neuropathy due to the compression of the median nerve. It is shown that gabapentin in high doses is effective in treatment of CTS patients. Gabapentin for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome User Reviews Brand names: Neurontin, Gralise, Gabarone, Fanatrex. Gabapentin has an average rating of 5.0 out of 10 from a total of 4 reviews for the off-label treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. 50% of reviewers reported a positive experience, while 50% reported a negative experience. Patients were assessed with symptom severity scale (SSS) and functional status scale (FSS) scores of Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) before and at 1, 3, and 6 months of the treatment. Response to therapy was determined by using SSS and FSS scores of BCTQ. Results: The median dosage of gabapentin was 1800 mg/daily. Side effects were Gabapentinoids, including gabapentin and pregabalin, are commonly prescribed for neuropathic pain, but robust evidence recommends against using gabapentinoids for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). We aimed to quantify national prescribing patterns of gabapentinoids for CTS. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) refers to the complex of symptoms and signs brought on by compression of the median nerve as it travels through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Patients commonly experience pain, paresthesia, and, less commonly, weakness in the median nerve distribution. The mean Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) in the pregabalin group was 20.83 compared with 20.44 in the placebo group at baseline (P =.7).After 8 weeks, the mean SSS in the pregabalin group was 14.92 in patients with CTS. The study aim is to investigate the efficacy of gabapentin in patients with CTS patients who were refractory to the other conservative measures or unwilling for the surgical procedure. Materials and Methods: Forty one patients diagnosed as idiopathic CTS were included in the study. Patients were assessed with symptom severity scale (SSS) and functional status scale (FSS Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a neuropathy due to the compression of the median nerve. It is shown that gabapentin in high doses is effective in treatment of CTS patients. In this study we evaluated the efficacy of low doses of gabapentin in Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a neuropathy due to the compression of the median nerve. It is shown that gabapentin in high doses is effective in treatment of CTS patients. In this study we evaluated the efficacy of low doses of gabapentin in treatment of CTS patients. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. Our study showed that gabapentin improved the SNCV and DML. Thus, mild CTS cases may be good candidates for treatment with gabapentin. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) results from median nerve compression and may lead to significant pain. Surgical management through release is the gold standard approach for severe CTS patients. Gabapentin is used as an analgesic drug, but data on its There are much better options for treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome than resorting to a drug with such a checkered history, complicated dosing and withdrawal instructions and overall risk factors. Since Carpal Tunnel is a chronic disorder that comes back often throughout one’s life, it is the opinion of First Hand Medical that oral pain Keywords: Boston carpal tunnel questionnaire, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Exercise, Gabapentin, Grip and pinch strength, Visual analogue scale INTRODUCTION Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a chronic compressive neuropathy that is caused by median nerve entrapment in the carpal tunnel and is the most common entrapment neuropathy ( Aroori and Spence Objective: Based on its efficacy in treating neuropathic pain, gabapentin may be effective for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of gabapentin for symptom relief in CTS. patients participated in the study that they received gabapentin at a dose of 648 mg per day, who reported symptom relief after therapy and Erdemoglu reported that symptoms and functional status improved with gabapentin (at a higher median dosage of 1800 mg/day) in 41 patients with CTS (Duman et al., 2008; Erdemoglu, 2009). My doctor prescribed gabapentin for my carpal tunnel syndrome to relieve pain and numbness. It has not been helpful. She has previously prescribed drugs that were not appropriate, which leads me to believe that she could be afraid to prescribe what will work, or she is in the pocket of a drug company sales rep. Gabapentin is typically taken orally in the form of a capsule or tablet. The dosage will depend on the individual’s specific needs and the severity of their symptoms. It’s essential to follow the doctor’s instructions carefully and not to exceed the recommended dosage. Background: Gabapentinoids, including gabapentin and pregabalin, are commonly prescribed for neuropathic pain, but robust evidence recommends against using gabapentinoids for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). We aimed to quantify national prescribing patterns of gabapentinoids for CTS. Patients were randomly assigned to an active group receiving gabapentin (starting dose 300 mg once daily to a target of 900 mg daily) or a placebo group. Primary end-point was the global symptom score (GSS), which was measured at baseline, two, and eight weeks.
