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.
This study compares two pain-relieving medicines, pregabalin and gabapentin, given before surgery to older adults having abdominal or pelvic surgery. The goal is to see which one works better and is safer for managing pain in this age group.
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.
