Abstract:
As an anti-epilepsy drug,gabapentin plays an important role in the treatment of neuropathic pain through a variety of central and peripheral mechanisms.Studies have shown that gabapentin has better efficacy for post-stroke pain,spinal cord injury-related pain,postherpetic neuralgia,and pain in diabetic peripheral neuropathy.For mild adverse effects,good tolerance and lack of interactions,gabapentin is an ideal drug for the treatment of neuropathic pain.
