Randomized controlled trial of gabapentin as an adjunct to perioperative analgesia in total hip arthroplasty patients

Conclusions This trial indicated that gabapentin treatment had no clinically important reduction in postoperative morphine consumption at 72 hr in patients undergoing THA. Multimodal analgesia may account for the similar primary and secondary outcomes found in the groups. This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, number: NCT01307202.
