| Gabapentin is widely used to manage chronic pain and has been shown to reduce postoperative opioid consumption. This study's objective was to assess the analgesic impact of gabapentinoids administered to adult patients before surgery. Research included randomization and control looking at the utilization of gabapentinoids in adult abdominal surgery 50 adult patients who were scheduled for voluntary abdominal surgery were randomly split into two equal groups. One hour prior to surgery, Group, I was given an oral placebo surgery, and Group II received oral gabapentin 600 mg. PONV prevalence, VAS, and the requirement for rescue analgesia were reported. There was a significant decrease in analgesia requirements. And a lower post-operative pain score in group II. The risk of nausea and vomiting following surgery was similarly decreased in group II. Gabapentin is effective as a Multimodal for postoperative pain control and VAS reduction of 24 hours. | ||||
