Abstract

This review summarizes the risks and benefits of gabapentinoids (gabapentin and pregabalin) for perioperative pain control and the controversies surrounding their use in a variety of settings. We review current literature with the goal of providing patient-centric and procedure-specific recommendations for the use of these medications.
