          Abstract

          Preoperative oral gabapentin has been shown to reduce postoperative pain. However, the effects of gabapentin as an adjunct to regional anesthesia is unclear and its effects on chronic pain remains unknown. In patients undergoing thyroidectomy, we investigated the effects on early and late (at 6 mo) postoperative pain of preoperative oral gabapentin as an adjunct to superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB).
