Comparing Three Medications for Spinal Headaches
This study tests three different medications—theophylline, sumatriptan, and gabapentin—to see which works best for headaches that occur after a spinal procedure. You would receive one of these treatments and be monitored to see how well it relieves your pain.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 21–50 - NCT07777965RecruitingPhase 4
Study of gabapentin abuse potential in recreational sedative users
This study tests how likely gabapentin, a pain and seizure medicine, is to be abused compared to a sedative called alprazolam (Xanax) and a placebo. It is for healthy adults who have used sedatives for fun but are not dependent on them.

Treatment for pain after stroke using spinal stimulation
This trial tests a treatment called spinal cord stimulation for people who develop chronic pain after a stroke. The pain is caused by the stroke itself and doesn't respond well to regular pain medicines. The treatment uses a small device to send mild electrical signals to your spinal cord to reduce pain.
Nanchong, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT03476538Recruiting
Study gabapentin levels after stomach bypass or sleeve surgery
This trial measures how the medicine gabapentin moves through your body after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. It may help doctors better choose doses for people taking gabapentin after weight-loss surgery.
TrondheimAges 18–70 - NCT03625011RecruitingPhase 4
Gabapentin before tonsil surgery to reduce pain
This trial tests whether giving gabapentin before pediatric tonsil (and possibly adenoid) removal can reduce postoperative pain. It may help children feel more comfortable after surgery while still being safe to use in the right patients.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 3–18 - NCT04724252RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Gabapentin to help children use less opioid after surgery
This study tests whether gabapentin can reduce how much opioid pain medicine children need after certain major chest or heart surgeries. If it works, it may lower opioid-related side effects while still helping with postoperative pain.

Gabapentin and ketamine to treat head and neck cancer pain
This early-phase study tests whether gabapentin and a ketamine nasal spray can help prevent or lessen short-term and long-term pain from locally advanced head and neck cancer. It may help by changing how the nervous system responds to pain during and after radiation and chemoradiation.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 21 years+ - NCT05302999RecruitingPhase 4
Early gabapentin for recovery after spinal cord injury
This trial studies whether starting gabapentin within 5 days after a traumatic spinal cord injury is safe and helpful for early recovery. It will mainly look at feasibility—whether patients can take the medicine and whether it affects early neurologic progress.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06992427RecruitingPhase 3
Gabapentin to prevent opioid use for mouth pain during cancer treatment
This trial tests if taking gabapentin during chemoradiation for head and neck cancer can reduce the need for strong painkillers like opioids. It may help manage mouth pain caused by treatment.
